Tejano Roots: The Women 1946-1970

In 1990, Arhoolie Productions purchased Ideal Records’ masters. The catalog, spanning a 25 year period from 1946 to 1970, included recordings by women who helped shape the beginnings of Tejano music in the southwestern United States. The liner notes include a brief history of development of Tejano music, short biographies of each artist/group, and Spanish song lyrics and English translations.
