Musicians' Migratory Patterns: American-Mexican Border Lands
considers the works and ideologies of an array of American-based,
immigrant Mexican musicians. It asserts their immigrant status as a
central force in nourishing, informing, and propelling musical and
artistic concerns, uncovering pure and fresh forms of expression
that broaden the multicultural map of Mexico. The text guides
readers in appreciation of the aesthetic and technical achievements
of original works and innovative performances, with artistic and
pedagogical implications that frame a vivid picture of the
contemporary Mexican as immigrant creator in the United States. The
ongoing displacement of Mexicans into the United States impacts not
only American economic conditions but the country's social,
cultural, and intellectual configurations as well. Artistic and
academic voices shape and enrich the multicultural diversity of
both countries, as immigrant Mexican artists and their musics prove
instrumental to the forming of a self-critical society compelled to
value and embrace its diversity. Despite conflicting political
reactions on this complex subject of legal and illegal immigration,
undeniable is the influence of Mexican musical expressions in the
United States and Mexico, at the border and beyond.
