Synopsis
Les Blank offers a vivid immersion into the Texas-Mexican borderlands as seen and heard through the art of the Norteño musicians whose songs reflect a deep-rooted cultural pride and a history of social struggle. Featuring acclaimed artists like Los Alegres de Terán, Flaco Jiménez, Lydia Mendoza, and Narciso Martínez, CHULAS FRONTERAS lovingly captures not only the music but the everyday sights, sounds, landscapes, food, families, and farming communities that are the very soul of Tejano culture.
