Notes & History
Heritage
by Peter A Garcia (not verified), 01/01/2023 - 13:27I thanked Arhoolie.org for their work in posting a few of my father's recordings on YouTube. The recordings represent a particular point in time in which the Mexican community had established itself in the Chicago area and the neighborhood in which the recordings were produced. It was home for many Mexican, Italian and Greek citizens. Asa side note, I have digitized, as did the Arhoolie folks, these and other 78 r.p.m. discs from my father's years as a workiing musician.
