Latin Music + Culture

Artístas y Músicos Latino Americanos (AMLA) is a non-profit 501(c)(3) arts and artist’s organization founded in 2006 in North Philadelphia. It is a subsidiary corporation of Esperanza Inc.

I have been in AMLA for four years. It has been the most influential experience of my life. Without AMLA, I wouldn’t be the man I am today.

I love AMLA because this is my second home and family. At times, my teachers care about me more than I care about myself. I have progressed in my music career and musical career and musical knowledge because of AMLA. I have been pushed in ways never imagined!

I like AMLA because I can show who I am. Also I like AMLA because this place is unique to me, and because without this music school and my awesome teachers this music school won’t feel like home! AWESOME!
