Does anyone know what those horns are and if so, how you make them? ¿Hay alguien que sabe que son esos cuernos en el video y como se hacen? Estoy creando un baile y canción para mi clase del 4o grado y queremos hacer y usar unos de esos cuernos para el programa.
Reflecting on the hard physical labor and abuses braceros faced daily -not so different from US laboring class experiences. Now aged- we are worn from back breaking hard-labor,-garnished by fickle and ungrateful US politics and racism and cancer causing pesticides resulting in undeveloped and still born fetuses. Recognize -also costly losses of quality of life and human dignity for the US to benefit from the fruits of yesterday and today's migrant labor . Thank you, nicely done.
There are lots of photos and many other documents and memorabilia which were beautifully used by the Smithsonian Institution when they presented their traveling exhibition on the Brazeros in San Jose. It was incredibly comprehensive and with appropriate music from that time. I am not sure where you can see this now.
GREAT video and song. The fact that soe of family worked in the fields of the Salinas and Greenfield it really had some meaning to me. My parents would've loved the presentation. Thank You.
This reminds me of my grandfather, a German immigrant who was a tenant farmer in south Texas. He answered the call to "cowboy" for Pancho Villa in about 1912 or so, and that money kept him alive. Later, he always hired workers coming across the Mexican/Texas border 100 miles to the south, and always made sure they had food to eat. When it didn't rain, the cotton did not produce, they could not pay back their farm loans for the seeds, and there was nothing to eat but pinto beans. I was there.
Que impresivo este cortometraje! La musica es excelente, los imagens son super hermoso y la edicion es absolutamente genial(bravo Maureen!). (Viva los braceros de hace y la necesidad de ellos pa' hoy mismo tambien...)
What a treasure! Are there anymore pics or an archive available? My dad was a bracero in the Imperial Valley and in the Santa Clara Valley in the 50's and early 60's... Love this!
I love Los Lobos.. the group of singers & dancers are very good. I want to take my grandsons to one of your shows. They'd love it. Please let me know whenever you have a fiesta at the place in Richmond. my mom lives just a couple blocks away from there. Sincerely yours, Angel Holsten Please reply.
