Frontera Collection ¡En Vivo! / October 14, 2021


Canciones Bilingües

In this week’s show, we will explore La Frontera, the line that separates two distinct cultures that each share the love for music made in and around this imaginary boundary.  We will be playing music from performers archived in the Frontera Collection that include both English and Spanish lyrics.   As the country celebrates National Hispanic Heritage Month, we will continue to highlight the singers, songwriters, and groups that come from both sides of the bicultural diaspora.

En el programa de esta semana, exploraremos La Frontera, la línea que separa dos culturas distintas que comparten el amor por la música hecha en y alrededor de este límite imaginario. Tocaremos música de artistas archivados en la Colección Frontera que incluyen letras tanto en inglés como en español. Mientras el país celebra el Mes Nacional de la Herencia Hispana, continuaremos destacando a los cantantes, compositores y grupos que provienen de ambos lados de la diáspora bicultural.

When/Cuando: Thursday/Jueves 10/14/21 6-8 pm PST
Where/Donde: Frontera Collection YouTube Channel
Who/Quien: Digitizing Engineer/Ingeniero de digitalización – Juan Antonio Cuellar

Dear friends,

On Giving Tuesday, we announced the capital campaign to purchase our building at 10341 San Pablo Ave in El Cerrito — home to the Arhoolie Foundation (and before that Arhoolie Records), Les Blank Films, and Down Home Music Store since 1976. We’ve been heartened by the community’s response to our fundraising announcement. To all who have donated so far: thank you. We couldn’t do this without you.

Now, while there is a contract in place to buy the building in partnership with Les Blank Films, we need to raise $1.2 million — our half of the purchase price — by April 15. Donations to the campaign can be made via the link below, by check, or by bank transfer. (To make a bank transfer, please email us at info@arhoolie.org).

In the new year, we look forward to collaborating with Les Blank Films and Down Home Music to bring more public programming to our community. We plan to revive Les Blank and Chris Strachwitz’s tradition of in-store film screenings and will host more informal, free performances and gatherings in the store as part of our outreach work. We believe this collaboration will result in a vibrant community gathering place dedicated to music, film, and deep roots culture.

If you’re interested in donating and would like to discuss our plans for the building, please don’t hesitate to email director Adam Machado at adam@arhoolie.org.

Thank you for your support as we begin this exciting new chapter!
