The LLCEC provides a variety of music based Social Justice Project classes each year. Our community artists and educators include deejays, sound engineers, music educators, and song writers. Courses teaching youth to play the ukulele, to mix music and make beats, and write songs have been offered over the years.

Each mixtape represents a narrative constructed by program participants, these narratives centered on various themes of history, struggle, hope and at times have provided catharsis to the frustration and rage Latinx often feel as a result of social isolation and othering. Through this project youth created a shared vocabulary of meeting, deconstructed colonial history, learned about the history of Black and Brown music, and practices the technique of deejaying. They produced both the soundscape and visuals for each mix.
Niños Gigantes is a song written by Aldo Barrios and Marco Castillo during the 2019 LLCEC. Aldo and Marco have been a part of the LLCEC for many years.
