Description

An production video of the 60th Anniversary of Charro Days in 1997 shows the roots of this celebration. Bruce Aiken talks about the commercialization of Mexican tradition to reactivate the economy after a recession and a hurricane hit Brownville. At first, Charro Days was celebrated in Matamoros (Tamaulipas, Mexico) and Brownsville (Texas, United States). The Sombrero Festival founded in 1985 has served as a celebration to reconnect people to Charro Days. Other interviewees include Américo Paredes, Ruby Wooldridge, Ralph Cowen, Clarissa García, Vincent Crixell, and Danny Loff.
