Los Valientes (The Courageous Ones) is a live music theatre work for singing actor

and onstage music trio of cello, piano and percussion. Based on the lives of three

heroic Latinos, the show celebrates Mexican painter Diego Rivera, martyred

Salvadoran Archbishop Oscar Romero, and Mexican-American outlaw Joaquin Murrieta -

some say the Zorro character was based on this historical figure. The music ranges

from traditional Latino folk and popular songs sung in Spanish to instrumental works

by Latin American composers.
