Tejano Conjunto Studies Pioneer.
Dr. Manuel Peña, a recognized pioneer of Tejano music studies, died at 76. In remembrance, we repeat our last interview with Dr. Peña in 2008 about his then new book and memoir “Where the Ox does not Plow: A Mexican American Ballad.” A native of Texas’ Rio Grande Valley, Dr. Peña chronicles his life journey from an impoverished migrant childhood to a distinguished career in academia. Dr. Peña is known for his anthropological study “The Texas-Mexican Conjunto” and other widely-used, award-winning books.
Guest: Dr. Manuel Peña, anthropologist, ethnomusicologist, author of the book “Where the Ox does not Plow,” Fresno, CA.
