  • Francisco Orozco the Tejano Music Spotlight Has Mostly Shined on Male
    Tejana Women (Time: 5:22) NARRATOR: Francisco Orozco The Tejano music spotlight has mostly shined on male musicians. But women also recorded music as early as 1904. These Chicanas were usually singers because this part was seen as “fit for women.” [music] The soulful voices of these female artists had a heart-felt impact on generations of Chicanos. “The Lark of the Border,” Lydia Mendoza was one of the earliest solo superstars. In 1935 she had a hit song, “Mal Hombre,” or “Bad Man.” This song especially appealed to women because it told a story from the woman’s point of view; something different from the numerous songs about women cheaters and heartbreakers. “Mal Hombre,” Lydia Mendoza In 1940s Texas, women singing duets were very popular. One notable duet was Carmen y Laura, the first stars of Ideal Records. In 1945 they had their first hit “Se Me Fue Mi Amor.” In this cancion, their beautifully paired voices tell about a woman’s lament over her love’s departure overseas to serve in the war. “Se Me Fue Mi Amor,” Carmen y Laura Crowned “Queen of the Bolero,” Chelo Silva was one of the most popular singers in the 1950s. Her melancholy voice had an emotional quality that could make both men and women cry. This hit “Está Sellado” is a bolero; a popular ballad style originally from Cuba. “Está Sellado,” Chelo Silva In 1932 Rosita Fernandez, “The Rose of San Antonio” entered and won a radio singing contest in San Antonio. This launched her career. By the 1950s, she was appearing on local Television and starring in motion pictures.

  • Arteaga URS Presentation
    1 I became interested in this topic after discovering Selena Quintanilla’s works for myself two years ago. Although I love most varieties of Tejano music, I wondered why Selena was the only female artist mentioned or included in several streaming platforms 2 Here are some terms and definitions that are important to remember when discussing Tejano culture. Please note that while I choose to use the gendered version of Spanish language nouns I do so not to exclude marginalized genders; however, this project explores the traditional binary gender roles of Mexican- American men and women and thus it is necessary to utilize this element of language. 3 Although musica tejana is much more complex than simply a fusion between country- western music and Mexican norteño styles, we can begin to dissect it by understanding that it is in fact a result of cultural exchange between Anglos and Tejanos, and is also influenced by Mexican transnationalism. As Texas culture became increasingly Americanized, musica tejana began to adopt certain features of the music of the ethnic majority, including instrumentation. These changes were especially obvious in the orquesta style. Before the 1930s, conjunto was primarily a folk genre with loose instrumentation. However, after prolonged contact with Anglo Texans, conjunto began to be standardized in instrumentation, form, and style. Ultimately it doesn’t matter much which term you use to describe this music, but you must be consistent. 4 Lydia Mendoza was born in 1916 in Houston TX and spent her early life living in both Houston, Texas and Monterey, Mexico. After appearing on a San Antonio radio station and winning a Pearl Beer singing competition in 1933, she launched her career.

Page 6 TP-May-Juner2013_Layout 1 6/21/2013 9:42 AM Page 2 Here's a couple of real gems. In my opinion, these are two of the most attractive of all of the Texas County and Postmaster cancels. I sold them together to a good friend and customer many years ago, and recently got them back when I pur- chased his collection. I am glad to have them back for a while. The Oak Valley marking is from a scarce DPO; it operated in Hill County from 1873-1880. The lovely Eagle Springs rectangle is also a DPO, existing in Coryell County from 1869-1901. If you'd like to have these beauties adding glamour to your collec- tion, let me know.
