Join us in conversation with nationally recognized Latino music documentarian, photojournalist, curator, and author Ramón Hernández, whose archive makes up the landmark Ramón Hernández Tejano Music Collection. Using his vast library of documentary photographs and cultural ephemera, Hernández will discuss Tejano music as a site of U.S. and Latin sonic cross-pollination, where conjunto, orquesta, and other Latin genres mix with rock, country, and soul. Hernández’s behind-the-scenes involvement in branding today’s best-known Tejano stars, such as Flaco Jiménez, Freddie Fender, Sunny Ozuna of the Sunliners, Little Joe, and Selena, gives this conversation special significance regarding the complex legacies of Tejano music history.
