“An Evening with Dan Guerrero” ● This Friday ● Mary Pickford Theatre ● 7pm ● Tickets on Sale Now
The “Taste of Jalisco” festival kicks off this Friday night with “An Evening with Dan Guerrero” sponsored by the Cathedral City Auto Center. The eldest son of Lalo Guerrero (a.k.a. the Father of Chicano Music), Dan Guerrero will entertain you with his awarding documentary about his father’s musical career. Entitled, “Lalo Guerrero: The Original Chicano” will guide you through seven decades of Mexican-American/Chicano history from Repatriation, the Zoot Suit riots and the UFW to the minifalda/mini-skirt and Chicano pride and prejudice. Guerrero captured it all in a dazzling array of musical genres including rancheras, boogie, tropical, norteño, cha-chas, mambos and beautiful boleros. Rare photographs, historic footage and music performances bring this eclectic tapestry to life.
Dan Guerrero will take your questions and answer them following the documentary. Afterwards, enjoy a reception sponsored by UltraStar Cinemas on the Mezzanine where Dan will sign autographs, sell a limited DVD/CD edition of Lalo Guerrero, and offer an opportunity for pictures.
Tickets are $12 per person and are available at
