New Podcast Posting: Jose Ronstadt on Mariachi Today

As a follow-up to a Left Jab Radio interview on XM Radio about the Tucson Mariachi Conference, Jose Ronstadt engaged in a conversation on the road with us ("Conversations on the Road").

Ronstadt, a cousin of Linda Ronstadt, is a TV anchor in Southern California and longtime emcee of the Tucson event.

Our conversation went into the historical origins and present day status of Mariachi, as a musical art form and as a window into culture.
It was interesting to hear Ronstadt describe how the Tucson conference has been an important catalyst in reinvigorating mariachi in both the American Southwest and in Latin America.
