National Mexican Heritage Month
As you might now as of National Hispanic Heritage month started as of Thursday, September 15, 2016. Due to this there was an event in HCCC regarding so, in our North Hudson Campus. They invited a Mariachi group to play music in our Student Lounge, recalling she said they were a Mariachi group but she didn’t resonate from Mexico. She had told us about how Mariachi music was so famous and beloved it wasn’t only played in Mexico and always from their as well. She was playing a guitar from Mexico called a vihuela and the other musicians were playing a harp and guitarron. They would sing Hispanic songs some of which I knew and some of which I had never heard. I personally enjoyed the Mexican folk songs the best since I am from there. Although I

    Hispanic Heritage Month Case Study

    I believe one good idea for Hispanic Heritage Month would be to expand and seek co- sponsorship from different organizations on campus to alleviate the costs that come along with events and receive different perspectives of how an events should be ran. Also, a greater number of organizations would mean a larger audience and more volunteers and participants to aid with development of an event. Since I’m applying for the Assistant Pageant Director, high quality photos should be taken at the event by asking other students if they have a professional camera, I own one of these type of cameras, and also setting up a photo booth area with a wide range of props. Also, having a hashtag for the event such as #HHMPageant or #MrHSA&MsHSA to increase…

    However out of the 40 years, only the last thirty-four have been spent traveling across the US and bordering countries as a professional group where they have exhibited their talents in many notable venues such as the Smithsonian's Festival of American Folk life in Washington, D.C., the Festival Internationale de Louisianne, and the Houston International Festival.

    Band The Hidden History Of Greater Mexico Analysis

    George Lipsitz would most definitely disagree with this idea. As he pointed out in “Banda: The Hidden History of Greater Mexico,” Latino immigrants experienced many forms of hatred and discrimination in a country more or less thriving by their hard work at low wages, through government processes such as redlining and through the passing of Proposition 187 in 1994. Music can create a political space that allows for public inspiration, unity, and drive for change which is exactly the role banda played in these disenfranchised communities. The solidarity gifted by the banda movement allowed for masses of Mexican workers to come together as a community and mobilize politically, with "nonunion janitors, maids, garment workers, and restaurant employees…

    LACMA Museum History

    It was the first retrospective to present the wide-ranging work of the Chicano performance and conceptual art group Asco (Jenks, 2003). Asco (1972-1987) commenced as a tight-knit core group of artist from East Los Angels composed of Harry Gamboa Jr., Gronk, Willie Herron, and Pitassi Valdez. Taking their denomination from the forceful Spanish word for disgust and nausea (Jenks, 2003). Asco used performance, public art, and multimedia to respond to convivial and political turbulence in Los Angels and beyond. Asco remained active until the mid-1980s, contracting and expanding to include Diane Gamboa, Sean Carrilo, Daniel J. Martinez and Teddy Sandoval among others (Dieking, 1998).…

    Cinco De Mayo Independence Day

    Is Cinco de Mayo really the Mexican Independence Day? While most people mistake Cinco de Mayo for the day that Mexico gained their independence, Cinco de Mayo- the fifth of May- is actually celebrated because on that day the Mexican army claimed a victory over the French army in 1862 at the Battle of Puebla during the Franco-Mexican War. Mexico actually gained their independence on September 16, 1810, 50 years before the Battle of Puebla occurred. The Franco-Mexican War began in late 1861; which was an invasion of Mexico by the Second French Empire. In 1861, Benito Juárez became president of Mexico. The country was in financial trouble and he was forced to put his debts on Spain, France, and Britain’s governments. Because of this, the countries sent naval forces to demand a reimbursement. Both Britain and Spain negotiated with Mexico, but France decided to take…

    The Importance Of Columbus Day: Dia De La Raza

    Why when most people think of Columbus Day, they think of Christopher Columbus and nothing about the other races involved with the New World. In my opinion, Columbus Day should be changed to Dia De La Raza. Dia De La Raza means the day of the races and makes more sense for the replacement of Columbus Day because it celebrates all of the races involved with the New World. Three reasons Columbus Day should be called Dia De La Raza is because this day recognizes all the races that came to the New World, recognizes the natives of the New World and recognizes the African slaves that built the New World.…

    Dia De Los Muertos Research Paper

    America being a powerful country, it pushes its ideas and extremely new traditions onto others. Being the dominant power, America sets the trends for other countries to follow. The theory of cultural imperialism seems to be strong in many ways when referring to the United States. It seems that through American media we are trying to catch the global market and turn everyone into American consumers. Not only consumers of our products, but also our ideas and ways of living. Referring back to the main subject at hand, which is the Dia de los Muertos, within many of the urban markets around the time of this cultural celebration, Mexicans are not finding the crosses, or wreaths, or anything like that. They are instead bombarded by the American paraphernalia dealing with Halloween. They see the sight of plastic pumpkins, witches, and rubber masks, the black and orange colors that the American market has designed for this day of monsters and…

Most Mariachi songs are about love and romance, even lost love. Until the 1930’s Mariachi was unknown to folks outside of the region.

    Different Cultures Coming Together in Tucson

    I dance for the most well known Hispanic dance company in Tucson, AZ; Viva Performing Arts Center. We have gotten the opportunity to dance at this wonderful festival for the past two years and the audience is always so appreciative to watch what we have to offer, and soak in the culture through our dances. We usually showcase our well known Mexican Folklore dances as wells as our Samba, Mambo, and Salsa. Just by watching the audiences reaction to our dances not only makes me feel like I’m getting my culture out there in a positive way, but proud to be part of the Hispanic culture.…

    Mexican American Culture

    Throughout my life I have been in and out of different communities, both online and face to face, but there is only one that I’ve ever stuck to. At the age of two, my parents brought me from Mexico to the States, starting my journey of living my life being Mexican-American. This community isn’t only for those who were born and raised here with Mexican parents, but also for those of us who were also born in Mexico, yet have lived here for most of their lives. Geography and identity aren’t the only things that the people in the community have in common, but also that we had to learn how to live with two different cultures. Although I do consider us a pretty strong community, it isn’t that strong because there’s no leader and not everyone knows…
