Norteño, Corridos, and Mariachi

Norteño, Corridos, and Mariachi

Part of the 2018 SBS Downtown Lecture Series: Soundscapes

Born, developed, or enjoyed in zones of frequent migration, border music has always been shaped by the intermingling of cultures and identities. Celestino Fernandez will relate the fascinating histories of musical genres performed in the Mexico-U.S. border region, including norteño, corridos, and mariachi, helping us see and hear the border in a new light. His talk will also incorporate a live corrido singer and a local mariachi band!
