  5. I´ve cross the Tijuana-San Ysidro broder several times and it always surprises me the large amount of Hispanic people crossing the border. When I think of Hispanic people in the US, this photo comes to my mind.

    Last, but certainly not least, I believe that Andy Garcia's movie "The Lost City", which he co-wrote, stars, and directs, is one of the most influential movies made in the United States that represents Hispanic culture.:

  12. The last year, the Chicago Latin Film Festival has celebrated his 25th anniversary. This Film festival is the most important in his genre done in the United States, and 30.000 people visited it each year.

    Music and latin rhythms are some of the most popular artistc symbols of the hispanic culture introduced in northamerican artist such as Maddona, but the hispanic art has more things to say as seen in this film festival that in three days will begun his 26th edition.
