First Edition. ----------softcover, a Very Good/Very Good+ example, a bit of light rubbing, crease on rear panel, 441 pages, photos, some contents are in Spanish but most is in English, ---"From the Lower Rio Grande Valley of Texas to East L.A. to the barrios of Chicago, people are listening to the heartfelt, accordion-driven sounds of conjunto. Born in South Texas in the 1920s, conjunto has become popular throughout the United States, Mexico, and, of late, Europe and Japan. But Texas remains the heart of conjunto music making. Indeed, the largest conjunto festival in the world is the Tejano Conjunto Festival en San Antonio, founded in 1982. ¡Puro Conjunto! is a wide-ranging collection of writings taken from the festival s program magazine, Tonantzin. These writings include scholarly essays, articles by journalists and music critics, interviews with legendary performers, autobiographical accounts, short stories, and poetry. Their subjects include the history of conjunto music, its signature instruments, the social context and functions of conjunto, and personal histories of conjunto music giants. Most of these pieces have never been published elsewhere. Photos and full-color reproductions of the festival posters accompany the text. This collection should interest conjunto and folk-music fans, as well as students and scholars"---, ----CONTENTS are: Part One: Conjunto: A Primer -The Unofficial Conjunto Primer for the Uninitiated Music Lover (Carlos Guerra) /Part Two: Raíz y Tradición: Conjunto-Music History -The Emergence of Conjunto Music, 1935-1955 (Manuel Peña); From Ranchero to Jaitón: Ethnicity and Class in Texas-Mexican Music (Manuel Peña); Conjunto Music: The First Fifty Years (Manuel Peña); The Accordion on Both Sides of the Border (Carlos Jesús Gómez Flores); Three of the Greatest Bajo Sexto Players in the History of Conjunto (Ramón Hernández, Jr. ); Women in Conjunto Music (Ramiro Burr); El Conjunto Bernal: Style and Legacy (Max Martínez); The Tejano Conjunto Festival en San Antonio: Eight Years of Change (Carmen Luévanos)---Part Three: Instrumentos: Accordion, Bajo Sexto, Saxophone- Accordion Menace . . .
