Images of Mother's Day serenatas radio broadcast performances
- Date
- 1995-05-14
- Description
- Sixteen color slides. Three bands performing serenatas for a Mother's Day broadcast. Traditionally, these songs were performed outside of a mother's window. Tomas Granado was responsible for re-establishing the tradition in Homestead. 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.
