SUMMARY:The Golden Age of Latino Country: Ronstadt\, Fender\, and Rodriguez in the ’70s
DESCRIPTION:In 1972\, a half-century after the birth of commercial country music\, Billboard country charts posted the first hit single by a Latin artist\, a young Tejano named Johnny Rodriguez. Over the next twenty-one months three Mexican American artists\, Rodriguez\, Freddy Fender\, and Linda Ronstadt\, racked up seventeen Top 10 hits\, including ten at No. 1. These artists returned to the country charts throughout the ’70s and ’80s\, with solo records and sometimes collaborations. But the half-century since 1975 has seen only one Latin solo artist top the country charts: Rick Trevino in 1996. Perhaps relatedly\, recent research has identified an industry effort to build up country’s white image in the ’70s\, even as the genre enjoyed a rise in Black and Hispanic listenership. This lecture revisits the music and machinations of country’s 1970s Latino prime and considers this moment in the context of the hundred-year history of Mexican American involvements and contributions in country music. \nThis event will be held as part of the AMS/Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Lecture Series.

SUMMARY:Music\, Disputes\, and the Silent Western: The Yaqui (1916)
DESCRIPTION:Embracing the visual arts\, literature\, and music\, interest in the West peaked in the early twentieth century. The emerging film industry capitalized on this enthusiasm\, and the genre became popular with audiences and lucrative for the studios. Like most silent films\, Westerns were accompanied by live musicians who used suggested musical programs to advise them what to play and when to play it during the film. These were often created by professional music directors\, such as Ernst Luz (1878-1937)\, who managed the orchestras at Loew’s movie theaters\, or proficient musicians\, like Max Winkler (1888-1965)\, who worked at Carl Fischer Music Publishing and later established his own music publishing firm. This presentation examines two differing musical accompaniments created by Luz and Winkler for The Yaqui—an early Mexican-border prestige Western\, the narrative of which is based on the enslavement of the Yaqui by the Mexican government—and the ensuing public debate about their appropriateness. Musical accompaniments for the silent Western\, like these by Winkler and Luz\, helped shape audiences’ perceptions of the West. This research offers the first critical examination of this music\, illuminating its significance in fortifying the mythical substance and interpreting the imagined realism of the Western film. \nThis event will be held as part of the AMS/Library of Congress Lecture Series. Tickets are free but required.
