AMLA

AMLA is an organization dedicated to the preservation and dissemination of Latino culture through music and education. 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. The mission of AMLA is to promote the development, dissemination, and understanding of Latin American music and culture in the Philadelphia/Delaware Valley Region with a strong emphasis on youth.

During the pandemic, the organization went virtual and served students from their homes. AMLA is now going back in person and experiencing new possibilities with their new Music Education & Community Relations Director Daniel de Jesús. 

The Fall semester is now open to the public and excited to welcome students of all ages. 

Parents and students can register online

Message from Daniel de Jesús

I am thrilled to be leading AMLA into a new chapter. Even under the pandemic music is so valuable to all of us and having access to music education is  part of a well rounded education. We are learning so much all the time about how music affects our learning capacity, memory, academic stamina, and social benefits. Music soothes us, rallies us, and most of all ties us culturally. Artists and Musicians of Latin America is an institution that continues to provide space to musically engage with our communities in North Philadelphia and beyond.
