Pan American Musical Art Research is a 501(c) (3) organization founded in 1984 to promote awareness of and appreciation for the cultures of Latin America by sponsoring and presenting multi-disciplinary performances and events to a broad audience of all ages, racial, cultural and socioeconomic backgrounds in the Tri-State area, in collaboration with local arts and culture organizations. In collaboration with both local and global artists, PAMAR has fostered the development of cultural events, which includes the Latin American Culture Week, its educational program "A Musical Journey Trough Latin America", Shall We Tango NYC, a citywide international tango festival and Celebracion de la Cultura Hispana. PAMAR's mission is to share the rich cultural heritage of Latin America and the Latin American diaspora by showcasing dance, film, music, literature, theatre, visual and performing arts representing or influenced by Latin American culture. PAMAR also provides increased exposure and performing opportunities for Latino artists. www.pamar.org.
