Episode Synopsis "Mexican American/Chicanx Música: From Linda Ronstadt to Current Forms of Mexican American Music (and Rising Artists)"

As Chicanx/Latinx, how do we experience music in the U.S.? How are musical compositions and/or reinterpretations central to connections/constructions of culture and homeland? In this episode, Christy and Ritzy attempt to survey the evolution of Mexican American/Chicanx artists north of the border—from Ritchie Valens and Linda Ronstadt to millennial artists. Through reflection and deliberation, they sift through varied manifestations of Chicanx music in their lives. By and large, this episode aims to consider the complexity and heterogeneity of the music that has contributed to Mexican American cultural production past and present.
