Folklife News & Events: 2019 NEA National Heritage Fellows: Las Tesoros de San Antonio

Please Join us for our next Homegrown Concert:

2019 NEA National Heritage Fellows: Las Tesoros de San Antonio: Tejano Singers from San Antonio, TX

Beatriz "La Paloma del Norte" Llamas
Blanquita "Blanca Rosa" Rodríguez

Wednesday, September 18, 2019
Coolidge Auditorium, Ground Floor
Thomas Jefferson Building
The Library of Congress

A conversation with two NEA fellows, accompanied by music from Mariachi Esperanza: Henry Gomez (Director), virhuela, Moises Perez, trumpet, Jose Luis Vaca, violin, and Rafael Aguirre, guitarron

Las Tesoros de San Antonio are a group of elder women performers who teamed up to preserve Mexican and bicultural musical expressions through their singing and storytelling. Janet “Perla Tapatia” Cortez, Beatriz “La Paloma del Norte” Llamas, Blanquita “Blanca Rosa” Rodríguez, and Rita “La Calandria” Vidaurri each had impressive singing careers that soared both locally and internationally from the 1940s to the1960s before tapering off in later years. Through the Esperanza Peace & Justice Center in San Antonio, these women reemerged and teamed up as the group Las Tesoros in the 2000s. Although Janet “Perla Tapatia” Cortez and Rita “La Calandria” Vidaurri passed away in recent years, Llamas and Rodríguez continue to perform and maintain the legacy of the group.

All four women grew up in the West Side of San Antonio, Texas. Each singer, with her personal style and grace, forms part of this unique ensemble that represents the important sound of the Mexico/Texas border. They were all inspired by and connected to many other important Tejana singers, including the great Lydia Mendoza (1982 NEA National Heritage Fellow) and the internationally renowned Eva Garza.
