In the 1970s a medical student from Guatemala escaped to the United States and he re-emerged as an artist. On the next Applause meet Hector Castellanos Lara who’s made his mark on Northeast Ohio’s art scene for more than three decades. Plus, enter the “Puertas” of Cleveland’s Latino community. And blame it on the Bossa Nova with Brazilian jazz musicians Dylan Moffitt and Moises Borges.

All that and more on the next episode of Applause. Friday night at 8:30 on WVIZ or on demand via the Ideastream Public Media app.
