DC Reviews…Avizo ~ Mas Amigos

Posted on July 31, 2011 | Comments Off

Houston’s Powerhouse AVIZO is back with a new production in Mas Amigos. Avizo is a Houston-based Tejano big band headed up by Robert Dorantes which has gained in popularity as the back-up band for many legendary solo Onda Tejana vocalists. Horn-driven and precise while backing their usual lead vocalist Chris Quiroga, Avizo is also known for releasing great productions featuring those artists they back-up at concerts. And Mas Amigos is one of those productions.

Mas Amigos features legendary vocalists Jay Perez, David Marez, Ram Herrera, Joe Bravo, Jimmy Edward, Jessy Serrata, as well as “Q” Quiroga and Raquel Serenil.

Perez opens the set with the Emmanuel classic, Quiero Dormir Cansado. The powerful horns back-up Perez’s soaring vocals. The sax solos are especially smooth on this one. Ram Herrera then gives us another classic, Engelbert Humperdink’s After the Lovin’–en Español (Despues del Amor) and as a ranchera. Avizo’s horns, as well as the trumpet solo and jazzy ending takes us back, as Herrera takes us on a smooth-voiced journey. Perez returns on the next track, Tu Me Quemas, which seems to be the CDs first single. Avizo is precise and dead on on this ranchera as Perez soars through the chorus from lows to highs. So, thus far, the first three are designed to keep you on the dance floor.

After a couple of strong vocalists, the next track brings us a legend who more than likely influenced most Tejano crooners. Joe Bravo, aka El Playboy, comes in with what will be a radio/You Tube favorite, Pachanga Tejana. Bravo takes us through the track describing some of the onda’s legends and newer vocalists in what really is a Tejano party of a song. In between descriptions Avizo gives us a snippet of each mentioned performer’s signature tune. Here’s the YouTube of it for your enjoyment.

Avizo slows it down a bit on the next track with the old standard, Fallaste Corazon, performed quite nicely by another legend, Jimmy Edward. A tell-off to oneself (and ones own heart) after losing a girl because of his own misdeeds, the chorus is quite memorable:

“La vida es la ruleta en que apostamos todos/y a ti te habia tocado nomas la de ganar/pero tu buena suerta la espalda te ha volteado/Fallaste corazon no vuelvas apostar.”

Taking us back to an 80s remake of a classic, Avizo utilizes the talent of Jessy Serrata. An accomplished solo artist, Serrata was also the voice of Los Chachos, Bobby Naranjo y Direccion, TUFF Band, and of course, one of los Buenos Hermanos Serrata with brother Rene. Cuando Salgo A Los Campos brings back a lot of memories that are only compounded by an interlude that includes musical snippets of other Serrata classics, like Tu Vestido Blanco, Por Que Sera Que La Quiero, and Pa’ Todo El Año, further exhibiting Avizo’s musical chops and their appreciation of Tejano music history.

A favorite of this blogger is, still, another classic made popular “back in the day” by Carlos Guzman, Tus Ojos Castaños, which is aptly delivered by the duo of Jay Perez and David Marez. The horns are tight and the vocals are amazing. Jimmy Edward returns to deliver Reflejo, an accordian-driven ranchera which speaks to the suffering that men go through in their love for a woman:  ”No es facil ser hombre resistir mujeres, no tenemos culpa gozar sus plazeres…”

And if you thought that was enough on the classic side, Avizo vocalist Chris Quiroga and guest Raquel Serenil give us a nice version of After the Love is Gone–yes, the Earth, Wind and Fire classic. Only a horn-heavy band like Avizo can deliver some good old school R & B like this, including some great background vocals. Quiroga closes the CD with the Lionel Ritchie hit, Hello, and it’s not your regular version. This one has some sabor y salsa and keeps you moving and loving that horn section. Now, I want Lionel to re-record this track con sabor!

You can buy Mas Amigos at your favorite Tejano music store, or you can find it on Amazon.com and download it. And those who have read my previous reviews know, there’s something about supporting your local musicos who just happen to record on indie labels.

Que viva La Musica Tejana!

UPDATE – Harris County Redistricting: Latinos Losing Their Only Seat

Posted on July 31, 2011 | 1 Comment

by Dr. Reynaldo Guerra

On Wednesday night, Harris County hosted their second of four “public hearings”  on their proposed redistricting map.  I put quotes around public hearings for a reason.  As a member of the Greater Houston Civic Coalition, I’ve testified and/or attended public hearings on redistricting for the City of Houston, the Texas House, the Texas Senate, and the US Congress; these are the first public hearings that I’ve been to where there is no forum for the audience to ask questions and get them answered.  The community has an absolute right to participate in the redistricting process, but it seems like efforts are being made to put limitations on that right.

First Public Hearing

The first public hearing was on Monday, July 25, in Pasadena.  There were well over 200 seats laid out and the room was over-capacity.  The vast majority of those in attendance were Latino and opposed the County’s proposed map.  Senator Mario Gallegos started the testimony off with a fiery speech denouncing the map, saying that it was full of the Christmas Turkey and that it insulated part of his community.  Those testifying denounced the map passionately for numerous reasons.  By my count, only four people spoke in support of the proposed map until a late surge of six, who said only “I support it,” with no supporting reasons why the map deserved their support.

Second Public Hearing

The second public hearing was last night at Harris County Precinct 1’s Cavalcade office.  Attendance was well over-capacity again, but the hearing was in a much tighter room with only about 50 seats laid out.  Precinct 1 is recognized as an African-American precinct, so the majority in attendance were African-American, while roughly 30-40% of the room was Latino.

By my count, slightly more people testified against the proposed map than in support of it.  Greg Wythe has a slightly different count, but I counted a couple of neutrals.  Interestingly, the overwhelming majority of those speaking in favor of the map were African-American current or former elected officials.  Representative Garnet Coleman did break away from the pack slightly in saying that the Precinct 2 needs to be drawn to represent Latinos.  There were only a couple of actual community members that spoke in favor of the proposed map, and half of them were non-African-American.

Senator Gallegos, Representative Armando Walle, and former Houston City Council Member Felix Fraga all spoke against the map.  Representative Walle’s testimony was particularly powerful, as he represents communities in both Precincts 1 and 2.  He spoke to the dilution of Latino voting strength and to the splitting of communities that he represents, leaving some of the voting precincts that he represents on an ‘island.’  This is the breaking up, or cracking, of communities of interest argument, another violation of the 1965 Voting Rights Act.  Council Member Fraga gave a passionate speech on being happy that the African-American precinct remains in tact, that he hopes that nobody takes that away, but that he would hope that African-American community would help the Latino community.

A Couple of Thoughts. 

It is significant that there was such a large showing of Latinos at the second public hearing.  The Latino community is energized and well-informed on this issue and doesn’t seem to be backing down.  The Department of Justice should have a lot of ammunition to shoot down the map when it comes into their cross hairs.

While Harris County’s proposed map eliminates the only Latino opportunity precinct on the Commissioners Court, it does a nice job of keeping in tact the African-American precinct. Per the Voting Rights Act, both the African-American and Latino communities are protected communities.  So, a map that protects one community and not the other is a clear violation of the Voting Rights Act and, in my mind, unacceptable.  Many older elected officials spoke last night of Blacks and Browns working together over the years so that both communities could have representation on the Commissioners Court.  This was the key point of the night for me.  The African-American and Latino communities are still under-represented all over the country.  African-Americans and Latinos represent 18% and 41% of Harris County, respectively; That’s almost 60% of the County.  Yet, if this maps passes, while one community will have maintained fair representation, their brother community will lose their opportunity for representation.

I’m hoping that both the African-American and Latino communities can continue to heed hard-fought lessons from the past, so that we can continue to work together, side-by-side, to advance both our communities. The fighting for crumbs on the table analogy has consistently been made with respect to Black-Brown politics.  If we are not careful, posterity will use that analogy to characterize 2011 Harris County Redistricting.  Let both communities not fight for crumbs on the table, but rather unite for proper representation for all. Why fight independently, even against each other, for our own individual precincts?   Only by working together can we succeed in realizing the representation both communities so rightly deserve.

The final public hearing is on Monday.  The Department of Justice wants to hear what you have to say; I hope to see you there,

Harris County Redistricting: Latinos Losing Their Only Seat?

Posted on July 31, 2011 | Comments Off

by Dr. Reynaldo Guerra

First things first.  Harris County released its version of a redistricting map on July 11 (cue dramatic music).  Why is that so significant?  The one-sentence answer is this: The map, if it passes, will eliminate the only precinct on the Harris County Commissioners Court in which the Latino community has an opportunity to participate in the political process or to elect a representative of its choice.  I almost want to apologize for the somewhat muddled way I worded that last sentence, but the verbiage comes directly from an extremely important federal law that the proposed map violates:  The 1965 Voting Rights Act.

The first two sections of this article (Texas House Cleaning and Harris County Commissioners Court) are background information.  I get into the specifics of how the proposed map is in direct violation of the law beginning in the Harris County’s Proposed Redistricting Map.

Texas House Cleaning

US Census numbers were released late last year and local governments have been redistricting (redrawing election boundary lines) all over the country.  If you’ve been following redistricting across the State, Harris County’s actions shouldn’t surprise you.  Redistricting on every level, from congressional to the state legislature to cities across Texas, has acted to not only seriously dilute the voting strength of Latinos, but to retrogress us as a Latino community, to take away civil rights successes that we’ve worked so hard for, for so many years.  It seems Texas lawmakers are cleaning house, and throwing away as many Latino districts as possible.

Here locally, through coalition building and an open-minded mayor, the Latino community earned a hard-fought victory in City of Houston redistricting.  Unfortunately, given the demographics of the Commissioners Court, and the fact that the County’s proposed map is orders of magnitude more egregious than the City’s initial proposal, winning on the County level will be much more difficult.

Harris County Commissioners Court

Harris County is divided into 4 precincts.  Each precinct is headed by a County Commissioner.  Services provided by the Commissioners Court include road and bridge construction, health care, housing, social services, law enforcement, courts, homeland security, and parks.  Representing a quarter of Harris County, and with budgets in the millions of dollars, County Commissioners are some of the most powerful elected officials in the area.

Precinct 2 has effectively been a Latino precinct over the last decade, having been held by beloved Latina Commissioner Sylvia Garcia for 8 years until Jack Morman won in November 2010’s Republican sweep.

Harris County’s Proposed Redistricting Map

Several articles have been written since Harris County released its map.  Rick Casey does a nice job of generally summing up the problems with the proposed map from a Latino perspective here.  Greg Wythe dives into the citizen voting age population (CVAP) discussion here.  I’ll highlight some of their salient points and discuss how the proposed map violates the 1965 Voting Rights Act.

US Census numbers tell us that in the last 10 years, the Latino population in Harris county has grown from just over 1.1 million (33%) to approximately 1.7 million (41%) residents today.  The numbers also tell us that that Latino growth represents 80% of the overall population growth in Harris County.  Therefore, the demographics of Harris County, as they stand today, are 41% Latino, 33% Anglo, and 18% African-American.  Despite these numbers, Harris County has proposed a redistricting map that eliminates the only Latino precinct (Precinct 2) in the county.

Therefore, although the Anglo population only represents 33% of the County, they will control 75% of the County’s precincts.  This grossly misrepresents Harris County’s population, its population growth, and acts to retrogress the Latino community.

I’ll pause to let you catch your breath.

In the proposed map’s Precinct 2, although the Anglo voting age population (VAP) is 35.7% and the Latino VAP is 52.5%, these numbers are misleading.  To use redistricting jargon, the County’s proposed precinct is a ‘phantom precinct’, i.e. although it may appear so, the Latino community within the precinct does not have a reasonable opportunity to elect a commissioner of its choice.

Here’s why.  As Greg Wythe has shown, the CVAP numbers in the proposed Precinct 2 tell a much different story.  In the proposed Precinct 2, Anglos are 50% of the CVAP and Latinos are 38% of the CVAP.  Now, what makes a precinct a ‘Latino’ precinct?  This is a tough question, with no clear answer.  However, to borrow from one of my favorite country songs, I might not know what it is, but I know what it ain’t.  Given voting trends and bloc voting patterns, it is highly unlikely that the Latino community will ever elect a commissioner of its choice when the Anglo CVAP so far outnumbers the Latino CVAP.  Again, the proposed map clearly violates the 1965 Voting Rights Act.

A couple of more things to note. Dr. Richard Murray’s research at the University of Houston has shown that the Latino community has consistently voted in a cohesive bloc.  Now, it’s clear that partisan politics is dominating the Harris County decision-making process and is acting to break the bloc up.  Why else would a community like Kingwood be included in a precinct with a majority of Latinos and Aldine be excluded?  Including Kingwood not only acts to decrease the Latino population (and dilute voting strength) in Precinct 2, but it also increases the number of Republicans.  Aldine, a clearly Latino community is included in the African-American precinct.  Why?  Well, the first of four public hearings on the map is being held this Monday, July 25, in Pasadena (see full public hearings schedule below).  I urge you to ask them yourself.

You Can Make a Difference

This year has been a year of the Latino grass-roots resurrection in Texas.  Against prodigious Republican numbers in the Texas Legislature, and with over 70 anti-immigration, anti-Latino bills proposed at the beginning of session, grassroots/Latino organizations such as LULAC, MALDEF, RITA, and many others were instrumental in killing all of these bills with the exception of Voter ID.

Here locally, a group of over 40 organizations and their members united as a coalition to earn a victory in City of Houston redistricting.  The coalition included grassroots organizations like the Greater Houston Civic Coalition (GHCC), the Progresista Voting Bloc, and Texas Environmental Justice Advocacy Service (TEJAS); professional organizations like the National Hispanic Professional Organization (NHPO) and the Houston Hispanic Chamber of Commerce; and even businesses like CounterPart Films.  Many of the elders in the Latino community are saying that they haven’t seen the local Latino community this united, with this much energy, in over 20 years.

Given the current makeup of Commissioners Court – with three Anglo Republicans and one African-American Democrat (perhaps our only advocate?), it is extremely unlikely that the Commissioners Court will be sympathetic.

It’s at this point that I hope you’re wondering if there is anything that you can do.  Well, it seems that if there is going to be victory for our community, it will be in the courts.  The public’s testimony is admissible in court, but only if it’s given at one of the four upcoming public hearings.  It is therefore vital the Latino community attends and is heard at these hearings.  Also, a group has been formed to organize the community.  Their information is below.

It’s a testament to the current times that the 1965 Voting Rights Act was recently extended, almost unanimously, under the Bush Administration.  However, even with the protection of the Voting Rights Act, the Latino community is still having to form coalitions and dog-fight for fair representation.  We deserve better than that.  A community that has been historically characterized as un-engaged recognizes this and has stepped forward with voices louder than have been heard in decades.  The energy and momentum can’t stop now.  Let our united voices be heard, they will listen.

A Letter to a Congressman…

Posted on July 27, 2011 | Comments Off

My sister, Toni, sent this letter to her Congressman, Michael Burgess, recently. What she describes is not much different from what millions of Americans are going through as the debate over the debt ceiling–which is really about cutting social programs to protect the wealthy–is at a deadlock.

It is time to stop fooling around and caving in to the Tea Party. You represent me, my 80 year old mother, and the rest of my family, too, act like it. You need to work with President Obama and work out the debt ceiling crisis before it has irreparable consequences.

Most of the top 2% earners can afford to pay more taxes, and most do not begrudge the U.S. their tax dollars. Why must the elderly, the infirm, and children bear the brunt of cuts to social programs? Are their lives worth less than a millionaire’s?

My 80 year old mom and now deceased father were small business owners, they happily filed and paid their quarterly taxes, knowing that their children were going to be educated and have access to higher education. They lived the American Dream–struggling at times, but always proud to contribute to our nation’s overall well-being.

My poor mother is now living the American nightmare–afraid that her Social Security check will be cut or disappear entirely– because Congressional Republicans only want to cut programs, but not ask millionaires to contribute their fair share.

I am outraged, Congressman. How dare you and Speaker Boehner hold old ladies hostage to appease your far right wing? You are a medical doctor, I would think you would be more compassionate.

Please do not reply to my letter with one of your canned form letters that appear to be written specifically for your Teabagger groupies; instead explain to me what I am supposed to tell my mother.

She has lived a life of sacrifice. How dare you ask her to sacrifice yet more, while the wealthiest Americans aren’t even paying their fair share.

Sincerely,

Maria Antonia Medellin

What A Vacation!

Posted on July 26, 2011 | Comments Off

I just returned from a road trip to Albuquerque, NM.

Copyright ~ Alan Mitchell and Camino Real Productions, LLC

The main reason for the trip was to catch a couple of performances of Gregg Barrios’ play, Rancho Pancho at the National Hispanic Cultural Center. I’ve written about Rancho Pancho more than a few times as the world premiere of the play in San Antonio featured L.A. actor (and my nephew) Benny Briseño. Later, the play was performed in Provincetown, MA to critical acclaim for the actors and the playwright.

So, this time around, the play also included another L.A. actor Teena Marie Pugliese as Carson McCullers, Teatro Campesino alum Santiago Candelaria as Tennessee Williams, and N.M. stage actor Vivian Nesbitt as Margo Jones.

In a nutshell:

A play about Tennessee Williams and Pancho Rodriguez, his lover during 1946-47 while he was writing “Streetcar Named Desire.” (Pancho is said to have been the model for Stanley Kowalski!) Theirs was a passionate and tempestuous relationship as they moved about the country and called every place they lived “Rancho Pancho” whether it was Provincetown or Hollywood. During their summer in Nantucket they are visited by Carson McCullers. The next summer in Provincetown Margo Jones arrives with Marlon Brando in tow.

The description, though, does not delve into the issues beyond the fact that a relationship existed. In fact, there is much to be discussed about identity issues on the part of Pancho. Not only the “kept boy” feeling that is evident, but the fact that he is a South Texas Mexican American thrown out of the military for “telling” and his struggle of choosing between his traditional family and a relationship with “Tenn.”  Worse is how Pancho finds that some of the family stories he has shared with Williams are becoming a part of Williams’ works.

I will save the stage criticism for the professionals, but I must say that all four actors gave strong and emotional performances which kept the attendees at full-attention. It is an amazing re-enactment of a volatile relationship in which one is left thinking that all involved needed each other in one way or another.

Playwright and Native Tejano Gregg Barrios was in attendance for two of the weekend’s shows. It was good to see him and talk to him for a bit. And I am especially thankful for him giving me an autographed copy of his latest book of poetry, La Causa.

La Causa is an evolution in time, maturity, political sophistication, and expectation an invaluable document to any artistic or historical study of the soul of El Movimiento. The poems in this volume range from sonnets, concrete, songs, ballads, prose and narrative verse. It is a chronicle of the changes made in the aftermath of the Chicano Mexican American civil rights movement.

I was especially honored to see “Dos Centavos” among those he mentioned in his acknowledgments.  It’s a great buy, too!

So, it was a great visit to ABQ, which included a visit to the Maxwell Museum of Anthropology (thanks to Jaime Puente for the suggestion), a drive through Old Town ABQ, and a great visit with Benny and Teena.

Stay tuned for more news about Gregg Barrios. He’s got some major projects in the works.

Houston Dems Set to Honor LGBT Trailblazers

Posted on July 25, 2011 | Comments Off

The Harris County Democratic Party will be honoring six LGBT community leaders this weekend for their work and advocacy within the LGBT community, and especially for their impact on the community at-large.

The 2011 LGBT Trailblazers’ Brunch will be held Saturday, August 6, at 9:30AM at the Hyatt Regency Houston at 1200 Louisiana in Downtown Houston.

SoTe: Are We On The Right Track?

Posted on July 17, 2011 | Comments Off

(As many of you know, I’m doing some editing and blogging at the new site, SomosTejanos.org. Check out this post I did on smartphones and Latinos.)

When we created Somos Tejanos, Inc. and SomosTejanos.org, it was with the intent of cultivating Latino/a civic participation throughout Texas by focusing on Tejano lifestyle and culture. By creating an online platform, we have exhibited a commitment to reaching the Hispanic Texan community through the fastest-growing medium–the internet. How Latinos get on the information superhighway is what is fast becoming important, though.

A recent Pew Internet poll found that ownership of smartphones–or cell phones that operate on a platform, such as Android, iPhone, or Blackberry–is quite high (39% of American cell phone owners). Although smartphones call for added expense in purchasing a cell phone, 44% of Hispanics own a smartphone, compared to higher percentages of well-off and educated cell phone owners, in general.

So, given those ownership numbers, check out the findings regarding internet access.
