Recording of Norteno accordion player Tomas Granado with apprentice Abraham Arrazola

Date: 1992-06-29

For more information on both musicians, see S 1644, box 10, folder 3. The Folk Arts Apprenticeship Program began in 1983 with a NEA grant of $22,000.

Apprentices must have had some experience in the tradition and agreed to train for at least six months. The first project director was Blanton Owen, later replaced by first folklorist Peter Roller, then folklorist Robert Stone. The program was continued each year through 2004.

Tomas Granado performing serenatas

Date: 1992-05-10
Description: Three audio cassettes. These tapes were recorded in 1992, probably as part of the Florida Folk Arts Apprenticeship program. Granado was a contact for the Mexican American Music Survey. The Mexican American Music Survey was created to document the musical traditions of Florida's various Mexican-American communities: Apopka, South Dade County, Immokalee, the St. Johns River Basin, and Central Florida. Funded by a grant from the Lila Wallace-Reader's Digest Community Folklife Program, the survey was conducted between 1994 and 1996 by folklorist Robert Stone. Among the musical traditions were serenatas, conjunto, quinceanara ritual music, ranchera Michoacana, mariachi, norteno, Tejano, and pop music. At the end of the project, a sampler music tape was created by the Florida Folklife Program for distribution to various libraries.
