Broadcast Sun 21 Mar 2010 at 8:20pm
On Songs of Wood and Steel, 'Los Cenzontles' (The Mockingbirds) are joined by Los Lobos' David Hidalgo on a selection of music that brings a bit of the Mexican countryside to their urban San Pablo, California, home.
Los Cenzontles is more than a band, though. 3rd generation Mexican-American Eugene Rodriguez started it as a youth group to create a family-like space for kids to explore Mexican roots music in his mostly Mexican-American but somewhat assimilated East Bay neighbourhood. They do such good work that they have attracted collaborations with Taj Mahal, Linda Ronstadt and Ry Cooder as well. The basic group consists of female duet Fabiola Trujillo and Lucina Rodriguez, who came to the group as teenagers, percussionist and bassist Hugo Arroyo, who has been with the group since the age of 8, guitarist/leader Eugene and Berkely-raised drummer Sage Baggot. I learned about the group from Sage, who's the son of a former road manager of Asleep at the Wheel.
