Chulas Fronteras/Del Mero Corazon*
- 1979 ----- color ----- 87 min ----- dvd
- Chulas Fronteras (59 min) Provides an introduction to the most exciting Nortena musicians working today: Los Alegres de Teran, Lydia Mendoze, Flaco Jimenez and others. The music and spirit of the people is seen embodied in their strong family life and sheer enjoyment of domestic rituals. At the same time, the filmmaker, Les Blank, does not overlook the hardships, in particular the Chicano experience of migrating from state to state with the seasons for work in the fields. He makes clear the role that music has in redeeming their lives by giving utterance to collective pain.
