Al Arrancon - Las Tejanitas Con El Conjunto Cortez

Dear Daniel: 

Thanks for providing the information about you mother and aunt doing the excellent duet on this track.I found a reference to them in Billboard Magazine (July, 18,1960), which named them as Trini and Maria. It would be great to know their full names, and which one was your aunt. Any other information you can provide would be greatly appreciated.  I notice they record for Colonial, Lalo Guerrero's label based in Monterey Park at this time. Is your family local?

I'm sorry to say we are unable to provide copies of the songs from our collection. As a library, we are not authorized to sell or duplicate the recordings. However, you can also listen to full versions of some songs on the Frontera Collection YouTube channel.

In addition, you can also find many songs from the collection on compilations released by Arhoolie Records, many of which are available for audio download through Smithsonian Folkways.

Thanks for your interest in our music and adding to our knowledge of the recordings. Hope to hear from you soon. 

Regards, 

Agustín Gurza, Editor, The Frontera Collection
