Barb Lawton says, "Wisconsin is now in a solid, competitive position in the high-tech creative industry. We kick off the year with the tax credits for the film, TV and video production industry finally taking effect. Expect to see good jobs as the high-tech manufacturing infrastructure is developed, along with increased tourism and global recognition of the beautiful vistas that define our state."

Los Zafiros - Music from the Edge of Time

At the Haggerty Museum of Art, January 17, 2008, 7 p.m.

As John, Paul, George and Ringo were forming the Beatles in Liverpool in the early 1960s, another band was coming together in the tough district of Cayo Hueso in Havana. Playing a brilliant mix of American-inspired doo wop and traditional Latin forms, Los Zafiros became a huge sensation in Cuba and beyond. Thirty years after the breakup of Los Zafiros, the two surviving band members, multiple Grammy winner and Buena Vista Social Club alumnus Manuel Galban and the group’s co-founder, Miguel Cancio, reunite in the streets of present-day Havana, a place full of unforgettable songs and memories for them and for their still-loyal fans.
Los Zafiros- Music from the Edge of Time was produced and directed by Lorenzo DeStefano.
