La Onda

vil021 — 2024-08-05 21:41:28 UTC

"The term la onda—what generally translates as the “wave,” “sound wave,” or “force” but operates in this book precisely as the musical wave—is an umbrella term for Mexican American/Chicano/Tejano music. La onda also signifies the ways the broader public and Chicanas/os have claimed music as “our own,” that is, the music that has emerged as a reflection and consequence of subordinate experiences living in the United States." (page 10). La onda represents the cultural movement of Chicano music. -vianna le

Chicana/Tejana singers who challenge the heteronormative and cultural-nationalist limits of Chicano music. Their music and performances create alternative sonic imaginaries of the borderlands, pushing against traditional norms of gender and sexuality.

- Ketan Mittal

Canonical Chicano/Tejano Music Narratives - Definition:

k1mittal — 2024-08-05 21:44:04 UTC

Established histories and representations of Chicano/Tejano music which often exclude or marginalize the contributions of women and non-heteronormative figures.
