As a follow-up to a Left Jab Radio interview on XM Radio about the Tucson Mariachi Conference, Jose Ronstadt engaged in a conversation on the road with us.
Ronstadt, a cousin of Linda Ronstadt, is a TV anchor in Southern California and longtime emcee of the Tucson event.
Our conversation went into the historical origins and present day status of Mariachi, as a musical art form and as a window into culture.
It was interesting to hear Ronstadt describe how the Tucson conference has been an important catalyst in reinvigorating mariachi in both the American Southwest and in Latin America.
In addition to this podcast, Ronstadt can be heard speaking about the Tucson International Mariachi Conference�at�the Left Jab website: http://www.leftjabradio.com
