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

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!
