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

Statement on the passing of Chris Strachwitz

Arhoolie Records Founder
July 1, 1931 – May 5, 2023

We celebrate the life of our founder, friend, and great record man Chris Strachwitz. He died peacefully at home in Marin County, CA, surrounded in his last days by dear friends and family. Over his 91 years, Chris captured the music that represents the best “down home music” the world has to offer.

He was at the forefront of nearly all the roots revivals over the last 60 years including blues, zydeco, Cajun, Norteño and Tejano music. His drive to document traditional music helped introduce the nation to our diverse musical heritage. He had the foresight to save music that might have otherwise been lost to obscurity and played a role in strengthening cultural traditions through his records, films, and most recently the Arhoolie Foundation. He cared for those around him, fought for royalties and recognition for Arhoolie artists, and provided counsel to countless musicians, writers, film makers, and academics.

Plans for a public celebration of his life will be announced in the coming weeks. Today we’re thinking of all that Chris brought to our lives and the lives of the musicians and fans with whom he shared his passion.
