David Marez The illustrious career of Tejano vocalist David Marez, known to his fans as La Voz de Oro, stretches from the early 70s, when he was the lead vocalist of pioneering Tejano band the Royal Jesters, well into the 21st century, when he continued to enjoy success. Las Fenix Las Fenix presents something completely different to their fans. Without leaving the genre they started it, they present something a bit more pop rock. Not only to demonstrate their versatility, but to open the doors to a new audience and to show others that they have no limits in the world of the music. Pete Astudillo Pete Astudillo was born in Laredo, TX, and from an early age followed mariachi and conjunto music. He began his musical career as a backup vocalist for the queen of Tejano, Selena, and sang two duets — 1992’s “Aname, Quirereme” and 1993’s “Siempre Estoy Pensando en Ti,” both of which were nominated for Vocal Duo of the Year at the Tejano Music Awards.

After scoring a number of Latin radio hits with singles including "El Tejano Enamorado," "Que Chulos Ojos," "Don Luis El Tejano" and "Todos Dicen," the band continues its journey across America.

    ORGANIZED CRIME AND TERRORIST ACTIVITY IN MEXICO, 1999-2002 A Report Prepared by the Federal Research Division, Library of Congress under an Interagency Agreement with the United States Government February 2003 Researcher: Ramón J. Miró Project Manager: Glenn E. Curtis Federal Research Division Library of Congress Washington, D.C. 20540−4840 Tel: 202−707−3900 Fax: 202−707−3920 E-Mail: [email protected] Homepage: http://loc.gov/rr/frd/ Library of Congress – Federal Research Division Criminal and Terrorist Activity in Mexico PREFACE This study is based on open source research into the scope of organized crime and terrorist activity in the Republic of Mexico during the period 1999 to 2002, and the extent of cooperation and possible overlap between criminal and terrorist activity in that country. The analyst examined those organized crime syndicates that direct their criminal activities at the United States, namely Mexican narcotics trafficking and human smuggling networks, as well as a range of smaller organizations that specialize in trans-border crime. The presence in Mexico of transnational criminal organizations, such as Russian and Asian organized crime, was also examined. In order to assess the extent of terrorist activity in Mexico, several of the country’s domestic guerrilla groups, as well as foreign terrorist organizations believed to have a presence in Mexico, are described. The report extensively cites from Spanish-language print media sources that contain coverage of criminal and terrorist organizations and their activities in Mexico.

  • Selena Y Los Dinos
    Case Study CX005.1 Last revised: February 24, 2014 Selena y los Dinos Justin Ward Selena Quintanilla-Perez was born in Texas on April 16, 1971 into an English-speaking Latino family of Jehovah’s Witnesses.1 Her father, Abraham Quintanilla, Jr. (“Quintanilla”) was an enterprising man who had spent his youth trying to make it in the Texas music scene as manager and member of a band called Los Dinos. Quintanilla took a job at a chemical plant when he settled down, but later left to open his own restaurant. During his (ultimately unsuccessful) effort to keep the struggling business afloat, he had the musically talented nine- year-old Selena perform live music to help attract customers. Although the restaurant failed, Selena continued to perform under the name Selena y los Dinos. She learned to sing in Spanish and began recording with local producers. After the eighth grade, she dropped out of school to pursue her musical career. The band remained in many ways a family affair: Quintanilla (once described as “the ultimate stage father”2) managed the group, her brother A.B. played bass guitar and wrote many of Selena’s songs, and she married the band’s guitarist, Chris Perez. By 1993, Selena was an award-winning Tejano singer and a rising star, having signed a record deal with Capitol/EMI (which had asked Selena to release albums as “Selena,” not “Selena y los Dinos”). She would go on to further musical success and to open a chain of boutique stores called Selena Etc. On February 7, 1993, Selena y los Dinos gave a free concert at Corpus Christi Memorial Coliseum.

  • (Eye)Line(R)?: Makeup and the Consumption of Latina Bodies Amanda L
    Where Do We Draw the (Eye)Line(r)?: Makeup and the Consumption of Latina Bodies Amanda L. Matousek Wofford College Abstract This article examines the social media responses to the marketing of two MAC Cosmetics makeup campaigns inspired by deceased Latinas. The conception and creation of the MAC-Rodarte Juárez collection and the MAC Selena collection represent an awareness of increasing Latinx visibility and buying power in the U.S. However, each exoticizes Latinas and contributes to their social and political invisibility in particular ways. While super- ficially it seems obvious why consumers would reject the Juárez collection and not Selena’s, a more profound analysis within the contexts of body studies and Deborah Paredez’s notion of Selenidad, or the acts of remember- ing Selena, reveals a deeper distinction. That is, the contrast of these MAC makeup campaigns reveals the line between the agency of claiming Latinx memory and identity and a politics of the corpse that banalizes violence and furthers impunity, invisibility, ignorance, and indifference toward real suffering bodies. Introduction Scholars and artists, including Deborah Paredez, Isabel Molina Guzmán, Angharad N. Valdivia, and Coco Fusco, have examined U.S. culture’s hyper-commodification of Latinas, with particular focus on the posthumous fame of icons like Selena Quintanilla, Frida Kahlo, and Evita Perón. In her book, Latinos Inc., Arlene Dávila looks critically at how “Hispanic mar- keting” shapes U.S. Latinidad, or latinness (29). Whether Hispanic marketing is regarded as a Latinxs’1 “coming of age” or a condemnation of “their commodification,” Dávila contends that this “…selling and promoting [of] generalized ideas about ‘Hispanics’ to be readily marketed by corporate America” further alienates them as “…a foreign rather than intrinsic component of U.S.

CHAPTER FIFTEEN Guadalupe San Miguel, Jr. Musica Tejana: More Than Conjuntos and Orquestas INTRODUCTION Manuel Pena has argued that musica tejana is comprised of two major musical ensembles and their styles, the conjunto and the orquesta.1 These are not the only ones in the community. Others have formed and become dominant at different historical periods in the 20th century. The only ensemble that has survived during this century, however, has been the conjunto. CONJUNTO: TRADITIONAL AND PROGRESSIVE The conjunto originated on both sides of the border and began as a two-person outfit in the 1920s, one played the accordion and the other played a string instrument. Its repertoire, initially, was quite broad and included a host of traditional dances and songs popular throughout 215 Mexico. The conjunto expanded to four persons and four instruments in the post-WWII period.
