The Fort Worth Hispanic Chamber of Commerce will celebrate Latino influence in the city with its Musicarte street festival this weekend in Sundance Square.

Visual arts vendors and artisans, such as painter Jerrel Sustaita and sculptor Victor Manuel, will display and sell works including sculpture, paintings and photographs. Leading the music lineup will be Emilio, Fanny Lú and Notch.

Back when Tejano was king in Texas and many other parts of the U.S., San Antonio's Emilio Navaira was definitely in the royal court, as was the late Selena. With his robust voice, Mexican George Strait image and penchant for combining polkas and rancheras with a few straight-ahead country numbers, Emilio was a bankable star. He released two country CDs on Capitol Nashville, 1995's Life Is Good and 1997's It's on the House, while continuing to turn out Tejano efforts first for EMI Latin and then for BMG U.S. Latin. Emilio performs Friday at 9 p.m.

The effervescent Fanny Lú, a native of Cali, Colombia, parlayed an early career in television into a recording career. Her debut album, 2006's Lágrimas Cálidas, offers a sprightly, pop-fused mix of vallenato, that infectious, accordion-fueled dance rhythm from Colombia, and bachata, the sultrier, slower-tempo Dominican Republic style with the romantic ambience. Stateside, she's enjoyed two big singles, "No Te Pido Flores" and "Y Si Te Digo." Fanny Lú performs Saturday at 9 p.m.

Born in Hartford, Conn., and fluent in English, Jamaican-English and Spanish, Notch combines hip-hop, R&B, reggae, dancehall and reggaeton into a musical mesh that appeals to today's youth. Plus, look at the company he's kept – reggaeton slammers Daddy Yankee, Luny Tunes, Voltio and Baby Ranks, to name a few. His debut CD, Raised by the People, was released last May and includes the urban Latin radio single "Que Te Pica." Notch performs Sunday at 4 p.m.

Local artists such as Grupo Sueño, guitarist David Gallegos and Grupo Lazzo will also perform throughout the weekend; check the festival's Web site for specific times. There will be a battle of the bands on Saturday, and food vendors will be set up in the Latino Food Court.

From 5 to 10:30 p.m. Friday, 11 a.m. to 10:30 p.m. Saturday and 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Sunday at Sundance Square in Fort Worth. Admission is free. www.musicartefw.com.
