Marco Granados is known for playing some of the most challenging music ever written for the flute, and much of it comes from his native Venezuela. Its wealth of local rhythms - some of them head-spinningly complex - caught his fancy, and he’s devoted years to developing the skills needed to play them on flute.
Today he stands as one of the foremost ambassadors of Venezuelan music, with a technique so dazzling that the word "virtuoso" comes up in almost any description of him. Marco is renowned for his daredevil agility; he can breeze through difficult polyrhythmic tunes, often at bullet-fire speed and high altitude. A critic from the New York City Tribune remarked that his breath control "must be the envy of every wind player from here to the next world." The late great saxophonist Michael Brecker called him "an incredible flutist and musician."
His new CD, recorded mostly in Caracas, showcases some of the best contemporary music from Venezuela.

...The Chicago Underground Film Festival is proud to present the Midwest Premiere of Anywhere U.S.A. winner of a Dramatic Competition Special Jury Prize at the 2008 Sundance Film Festival. Anywhere USA is a high-energy and big-hearted romp through the hysteria-fueled landscape of modern America. Told in three loosely connected segments (Penance, Loss, and Ignorance), the film is a dizzying portrait of America inspired by the director's (Chusy Haney-Jardine) own experiences as both foreigner and citizen of these United States.
Featuring a cast of mostly non-professionals, this deeply personal film manages to tread the lines between vulgar and humane, between absurd and tender...
