The Turtle Lady Legacy strives to make the public aware of the Kemp's ridley sea turtles and their precarious hold on survival as a species. Thanks to Ila Loetscher and others, the number of sea turtles in the Gulf of Mexico have increased but there's still a way to go before they are no longer an endangered species. The Turtle Lady Legacy provides presentations about Ila Loetscher and sea turtle conservation to the community as well as educational programs for children at local schools, libraries, and museums in South Padre Island and Port Isabel, Texas. Art & Culture In 1903, Thomas J. Hooks moved his family to the area because of the farming potential. Railroad entrepreneur Uriah Lott named the town after Hooks' daughter. When Donna Hooks Fletcher divorced in 1908, she received land from her father, which she turned into a prosperous produce and dairy operation. Local history is honored at her namesake facility Donna Hooks Fletcher Museum. Artifacts include the town's first telephone, a bar supposedly used in the 1914 Blue Goose Saloon and household appliances, including an ice box, clothes wringer wash tub and butter churn. Prominently displayed is the Bible that Donna Hooks Fletcher held in one hand, while the other hand held a pistol, during the tense 1910s when Mexican revolutionaries raided across the nearby Rio Grande. The McAllen Community Concert Association is a non-profit organization comprised of a 40 member board and an active membership that fills our 1750 seat auditorium for each concert. Additional volunteers assist this volunteer board each spring during the membership drive. Without these volunteers, there truly would not be a Community Concert Association in McAllen, Texas. “To provide quality entertainment at affordable prices" . this is the foundation of the organization now in the year 2012 just as it was in 1954. IMAS is always looking for motivated individuals who want to make a difference in their community. IMAS offers various levels of volunteer opportunities.

The Texas Conjunto Music Hall of Fame & Museum, founded in 2001, is part of the Museums of San Benito, the birthplace of conjunto music. The museum works to promote, preserve, archive, document, and display the history of regional conjunto music by honoring those who create it. Detailed information on the instruments used in conjunto music, their cultural origins, and stories of San Benito’s legendary music institutions such as “La Villita” dance hall and the Rio Grande Music Company, home of Ideal Records, are among the featured exhibits. Within our exhibit space are the accordions of conjunto pioneers: Narciso Martínez, Pedro Ayala, Ricardo Guzmán, Enrique Vela, Mario Montes and Gilberto Pérez. Also on display is an old bajo sexto donated by Ramiro Cavazos, a leather jacket on loan from the family of Mario Montes, a suit and pair of shoes donated by the family of Ruben Vela, a set of drums donated by Higinio Guzman, and an electric Fender bass on loan from Hector Barron of Los Fantasmas Del Valle.

  • Que Viva La Música Latina! | Smithsonian Folkways Magazine
    Winter 2018 ¡Que Viva la Música Latina! by Daniel Sheehy In 1982, the National Endowment for the Arts launched its annual National Heritage Fellowship award program, putting a major spotlight on renowned traditional artists from across the United States and its territories. Having been a member the Folk & Traditional Arts program staff from 1978 to 2000, I was witness to that exciting time. There was a good deal of handwringing in the early years of the awards. Our program’s director, Bess Lomax Hawes, and our many folklife advisors were concerned that in singling out one person or group representing a communal tradition, the highly visible federal recognition might inadvertently cause more harm than good by disrupting the local cultural ecology. There was also concern that in a nation of hundreds of folk traditions, recognizing only a handful of artists each year might have the effect of marginalizing the many traditions not represented. With an eye toward these concerns, the program guidelines were carefully crafted to take three factors into consideration when reviewing nominations: artistic excellence, authenticity, and impact on his or her cultural community. “Excellence” did not mean that the candidate for the award needed to be “the best” in his or her tradition, but rather at the top level of artistic achievement in that tradition. By “authenticity” (a troublesome term for many people), we meant that in the minds and hearts of a cultural community, the awardee should be a touchstone of tradition—that is, the artist should represent a body of practice larger than him or herself, as opposed to highly individualistic expression outside of the boundaries of tradition.

    Volume 23 Number 35 August 28, 1998 _ __________ Pages 8769-8933 This month’s front cover artwork: Artist: Arthur Cruz 11th Grade Dalhart High School School children’s artwork has decorated the blank filler pages of the Texas Register since 1987. Teachers throughout the state submit the drawings for students in grades K- 12. The drawings dress up the otherwise gray pages of the Texas Register and introduce students to this obscure but important facet of state government. We will display artwork on the cover of each Texas Register. The artwork featured on the front cover is chosen at random. The artwork is published on what would otherwise be blank pages in the Texas Register. These blank pages are caused by the production process used to print the Texas Register. The artwork does not add additional pages to each issue and does not increase the cost of the Texas Register. For more information about the student art project, please call (800) 226-7199.

Publisher Mexican American Studies & Research Center, The University of Arizona (Tucson, AZ) Journal Perspectives in Mexican American Studies Rights Copyright © Arizona Board of Regents Download date 25/09/2021 16:25:10 Link to Item http://hdl.handle.net/10150/624784 NOTES ON TEJANO MUSIC Jose R. Reyna The present study is intended in large part to fill a gap in the study of Tejano music which has resulted from neglect on the part of scholars -a situation not unlike that which exists in many other areas of Chicano Studies.Therefore, what followsisprimarily adescriptive treatment of the subject. Although there is also an attempt to discuss the subjectfrom anhistoricalperspective,thatisnottheprincipal consideration at this time, since much more basic research is needed for precise historical documentation. In the future, once a basic framework has been established, more detailed analytical, even polemical, studies will no doubt be undertaken.' The focus of this paper is upon instrumentation and orchestration as distinctive features of the Chicano music of Texas. Other aspects, such asChicanolyrics,individualperformers,groups,dancetradition, comparative questions, and the role of the Tejano music industry are touched upon only briefly,2 for it is in instrumentation and orchestration that we can see the evolution of a strain of music thatisclearly Chicano / Tejano, althoughitis influenced by Mexican and American traditions.It should be stated further that at any given time in this evolutiontherehaveexistedensemblesconsistingofvarious combinations of instruments, some of which can still be found in South Texas.
