Frontera Collection ¡En Vivo! / June 22, 2023

This week’s program will feature a nicely curated playlist featuring and highlighting some well known and not so well known female duetos.  Female Duetos existed across many musical genres in the Frontera Collection eco system.  Many of these duetos borrowed from the American pop scene by teaming up with their sisters to form a vocal group and others paired up to complement individual voices.  These pioneering recording artist songs went beyond the typical unrequited love declarations, but also lent their talent and vocal stylings to corridos which we will also play in this episode.  Some of the duetos that will be highlighted will be Las Hermanas Mendoza, Las Jilguerillas, Dueto Rio Bravo, and Las Hermanas Padilla among other less known duetos.  This is not to be missed!

El programa de esta semana contará con una lista de reproducción muy bien seleccionada que presenta y destaca algunos dúos femeninos bien conocidos y no tan conocidos. Los dúos femeninos existían en muchos géneros musicales en el ecosistema de la Colección Frontera. Muchos de estos duetos tomaron prestados de la escena pop estadounidense al asociarse con sus hermanas para formar un grupo vocal y otros se emparejaron para complementar voces individuales. Estas canciones de artistas pioneros fueron más allá de las típicas declaraciones de amor, pero también prestaron su talento y estilo vocal a los corridos que tambien tocaremos en este episodio. Algunos de los dúos que se destacarán serán Las Hermanas Mendoza, Las Jilguerillas, Dueto Rio Bravo y Las Hermanas Padilla entre otros duetos menos conocidos. ¡Esto no se puede perder

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.
