“The Bronx is like the music I love. We have the responsibility to preserve the richness of the Bronx.” -Alec Castro (@aleccastromusic) “The Bronx, I think, welcomes. None of us here were born there, but it welcomes us; it’s a welcoming place.” -Brand Torres (@wordsbybrand) Brand Torres and Alec Castro are two lifelong music lovers with a passion for promoting diversity within the arts. In looking to address this dire need, they found their way to the Multicultural Music Group and haven’t looked back since. The Multicultural Music Group is a Bronx-based nonprofit organization that’s been stimulating a more diverse music education in NYC for over a quarter of a century! Tune in with host Dan Zauderer as he speaks with both Alec and Brand about their beginnings with the organization and the positive effects that their work is having on the Bronx youth of today.
