Tejano Music

The Bob Bullock Texas State History Museum introduced Saturday the first major exhibition highlighting the impact of Latinos in U.S. popular music.
The exhibition, called American Sabor: Latinos in U.S. Popular Music, was created by Experience Music Project and the University of Washington. The exhibit will run from February 13 until May 9, and is both bilingual and interactive.
American Sabor: Latinos in U.S. Popular Music tells the story of a long history of Latino influence on American music geared toward creating new perspectives about popular music.
Five metropolitan areas of musical influence drive the exhibition, including New York City, Los Angeles, Miami, San Antonio and San Francisco.
The exhibition includes over 100 artifacts, including one of Ritchie Valens’ guitars, a trombone belonging to salsa star Willie Colon, a dress worn by salsa star Celia Cruz, and much more.
