TEDxSanAntonio - Juan Tejeda - Xicanismo and Tejano Music - Local Music, Global Identity & Vision

This Instructor of Music & Mexican-American Studies at Palo Alto College describes how the rich history of Hispanic culture is kept alive in music today. His talk - "Xicanismo and Tejano Music - Local Music, Global Identity & Vision"

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)

As a descendant of Native American and Hispanic cultures, This man Juan has history down, I can concur, something I learn reading Texas and American history, even though some of injustices committed by white anglos were left out or justified.

Bobby Pulidos Tedx Talk is a better explanation. I'm not an X or even a chicana, I'm TEJANA and i say that with pride.

This guy is terrible. Bad historian and bad musician.
Catered to liberals, this is the worst presentation.
