Arhoolie Deep Dive: Rumbo a California (Sept 2022)

Songs were the oral headlines of Mexican life in California, providing a lens for understanding their lives north of the border. Boleros, rancheras, and especially corridos documented the struggles of immigrant work and life, paid tribute to Mexican heroes, and recounted the natural disasters that were such a part of California life. Lalo Guerrero’s “El Corrido de Delano'' celebrated the 1966 farm workers' march from Delano to Sacramento, which resulted in the creation of the United Farm Workers and the rise of César Chávez as a national labor leader.
