Internationally recognized as the -Father of Chicano Music-, Lalo Guerrero wrote hundreds of songs during his seven-decade career including the classic bolero Nunca Jamas and Canción Mexicana, considered the -unofficial anthem- of Mexico. At the height of his recording years in the 1940s and 1950s, he dominated the Latin American charts in the U.S. and Latin America as a vocalist and songwriter with as many as three hits in the top ten at the same time. Many major Mexican stars covered his songs including the original Queen of the Ranchera, Lucha Reyes and the legendary Trio Los Panchos among them. This screening is being held in conjunction with the exhibition, American Sabor: Latinos in U.S. Popular Music which explores the influence of Latino musicians in post-World War II America through the lens of major centers of Latino music production-New York, San Antonio, San Francisco, Miami and Los Angeles.
