“Bailar La Bamba, Bailar La Bamba…” Hola Mis Queridos! Yes, this week we’ve got music in the form of that popular folk song “La Bamba.” But watch out! This version, performed by the ensemble music group Las Cafeteras, is an updated version with contemporary lyrics that link an old song to current day realities faced by Latinos in the United States. In History, we have another Latinopia Event. For this one we go way back to the year 1325 A.D. when the Mexica people, ancestors to today’s Mexicans and Mexican Americans, left their ancient homeland of Aztlán. Something that has always puzzled your Tia: after more than 500 years why has the site of this ancient dwelling never been uncovered? If, as some people think, it was somewhere in the American Southwest, where could that have been? Pues, miren no más, in an excerpt from the video “In Search of Aztlán” we get some provocative clues. Oh and this is the first of a two-parter. And speaking of Aztlán, this week’s Moment in Time photograph documents the Becas de Aztlán (Aztlán Scholarships) program which allowed dozens of Mexican American students to study in Mexico from 1972 to 1982. So check out all of our great postings and have a great week! OOXX Tia Tenopia
