    Governmental issues and expressions of the human experience have dependably been entwined in the Chicano development - El Movimiento. Cesar Chavez's endeavors starting in the mid-'60s in Central California to unionize cultivate laborers were sensationalized by Luis Valdez's Teatro Campesino- - an organization that was established in 1965 and motivated incalculable Chicano theater bunches, which utilized the phase to investigate other political issues, including the Vietnam War, work separation and migration approaches. The political arousing of La Raza- - "The Race"- - was likewise played out against the scenery of wall paintings in urban areas crosswise over America. Be that as it may, since those red hot beginnings, social additions have…

Going into this reading I didn’t know about Narcocorridos and the impact drugs and violence has had on this music genre. I also, learn about the importance branding to our identity and how branding gives us an aura of authenticity. While I never heard of narcocorridos before I have heard of the name Jenni Rivera. In this reading, I learned the impact Rivera made in the genre and how she shows how women can also become narco-leaders and talks about sexism in narcocorridos.…

    The Nortenos Chicano rap music was a success thanks to the association with great help hip hop artists like Mac Dre, Andre Nickatina, and many more artists. Since I was a little, I grew up hearing all types of music, yet when I hit my late teens. I was fully introduced to the Nortenos gang rap genre by my cousins. When, I first heard the Nortenos gang music, it rapped about their life events and teens would go through in this world to fit in, and I could actually relate to it. But one of the most fun experiences I had was when I went to a house party Lil Coner, one of the nortenos gang rappers, came to my friend Yarissa’s house to rap about his life experiences. The night ended with a better outcome because I got three CDs signed by Lil Coner, and I got to take some pictures with him, yet the unforgettable night had to break with some offers to be on Lil Coner music videos. When I hit 21 years old, I wanted FIesta Club, because my friend Stephanie sends me an ad on Facebook about Big Tone, another former Norteno who was rapping that night with Davina, a nortena women, but I wouldn’t be able to watch my role model that…

    The 1960’s decade has often been recalled as a cultural decade due to the emergence of the counterculture and civil right movement against the social norms. Changes in clothing, drugs usage, sexuality, formalities, schooling, flamboyance, and civil disobedience all took place in these controversial years of the Swinging Sixties. The social norm was no longer the norm and counterculture took over. And ironically enough, all of these events can be reflected into the musical scene of the decade. New genre, Chicano Rock emerged among the old genres and artists from Laurel Canyon became sensationalized. However, in the mid-1960’s around 1966 was when people started to realize the impacts and popularity of Chicano Rock and Laurel Canyon artists since…

    Before the Mexican revolution, the lives of women have changed drastically over the last century. This includes: their work, family life, political participation, health care and educational opportunities. Before, it was a woman’s duty to take care of the family, house hold duties and the health of the children. By the 20th century so much had change for females in Mexico, this was the beginning of a more independent role for women.

    With the start of the Chicano Movement, not only did the rebellious youth of the 20th century create a drastic change in the connotations associated with Mexican-Americans but they also sculpted, painted, sang and danced to form a cultural identity unique and distinctly their own. Mainly focusing on Southern California during the 1940’s to the present, Chicano Art took its roots from Mexican painters like Rivera, Siqueiros, and Viramontes. The struggle for a Chicano identity, one that was not instilled by the dominating Anglo community, was the goal of muralists and painters alike. It was this search for identity that led to the Chicano Movement. By comparing images from the mid 1900’s and understanding the political, social, and economic pressures of that time period I argue that Chicano identity in both the private and public sectors was depicted in various art forms, not exclusive but limited to murals, paintings, music, and fashion, and that during the breadth of the Chicano movement these forms of artistic expression were an integral part of forming the cultural identity of the Chicano people. Jazz music, the Zoot suit, and urban graffiti also added to this formation and these elements combined created the revolutionary Chicano Movement.…
