This weekend will have not one, but two events tailor-made for all the Chicano soul fans in Houston.
On Saturday afternoon at Cactus Music, DJ/historian Alex La Rotta will have a discussion with DJ/author Ruben Molina, who’ll be in town to talk about his latest book, The Dreamy Side: Rhythm and Blues and Chicano Culture in 1950s Los Angeles. (They’ll also perform Chicano-soul DJ sets at Johnny’s Gold Brick later that evening.) At the same time that’s happening, Chicano Boulevard will salute the Pan-America Ballroom, once a local mecca for Chicano and Tejano music, at Leonel Castillo Community Center.
Of course, plenty of other things are happening in Houston this weekend, from a block party to an oyster fest to a chance to go underground with the late, great David Bowie.
