Various Artists
Mexican-American Border Music: An Introduction: Pioneer Recording Artists (1928-1958) The border between Mexico and the United States stretches some 1,500 miles, from Brownsville, Texas/Matamoros, Mexico, to San Diego, California/Tijuana, Mexico. The existence of physical barriers (the Rio Grande River, fences, and walls) has not diminished the rich musical culture that has flowed back and forth across the border. This collection presents an introduction to some of this important music, beginning with recordings from the 1920s and continuing into the 1960s.
