La Gloria de Texas

Lydia Mendoza
La Gloria de Texas Lydia Mendoza was a pioneer female singer/performer in Tejano music whose career spanned from the early 1930s to the late 1980s. This collection was recorded by Arhoolie founder Chris Strachwitz in San Antonio in 1979 in her daughter’s home. Capturing Mendoza in a reflective mood, the performance is a soulful and moving expression of Tejano music. Included in this collection is her composition “Amor Bonito” and Elpidio Ramírez’s beautiful “Malaguena Salerosa.” The liner notes contain the Spanish lyrics with English translation.
