Lydia Mendoza - Recordando A Lydia Mendoza flac album

Lydia Mendoza (May 31, 1916 – December 20, 2007) was an American guitarist and singer of Tejano, conjunto, and traditional Mexican-American music. Mendoza was born on May 31, 1916, in Houston, Texas. She learned to sing and play stringed instruments from her mother and grandmother. In 1928, as part of the family group, Cuarteto Carta Blanca, she made her first recordings for the Okeh Records label in San Antonio, Texas.

Arhoolie Records has put out several collections of Tex-Mex music giant Lydia Mendoza's recordings, though these are usually focused on a certain era or concert from her lengthy career. The Best of Lydia Mendoza, as you'd expect from a compilation bearing such a title, is different from those other anthologies in that it draws from recordings she made over the course of several decades, spanning 1934 to 1982

Lydia Mendoza was the first star of recorded Tejano and Norteno music. Thanks to her 12-string guitar and her clear, heartfelt voice, she became a sensation throughout Latin America in the 1940s and 1950s. She died in 2007 at the age of 91 after a career that spanned eight decades. Salome Gutierrez, the 79-year-old owner of the Del Bravo Record Shop in San Antonio, specializes in Tejano music. He keeps Mendoza's guitar, her colorful stage dresses and a neon-framed photo of her from 1948. Rita Vidaurri, one of Mendoza's oldest friends and a fellow Tejano singer, said Mendoza differed from many musicians of the time by performing solo with only a guitar. Mexican female solo performers were rare back then. But what also set Mendoza apart was her audience - she became known as the Singer of the Poor.
