During class on April 16, 2008, Juan Tejeda came to our class to talk to us about Conjunto music and about his music he plays in his band and about Chicanos, Americans, and Mexicans. He calls himself a Chicano except he spells it “xicano” to show the history of the Mexicans. He said how he believed in a way most people are Americans, because we are all born in America and how the people who were born in South America and North America can be considered Americans. He brought to the class room show us a flute, a seashell, a drum, a flute that was made out of a PVC pipe, another instrument but I don’t know the name, it had little shells attached and sounded like a maraca, and an accordion. He played the flute and seashell then he said a poem. Then he continued to play. He said the poem in Nahuatl, Spanish, and English. He then played the drum and sang a song, I think in Spanish. Then he showed us the accordion and the different types of music he could play like polka, waltz, cumbia, country, and blues. He really seemed to enjoy playing and showing us what he knew. I really enjoyed this presentation. I as a child have always loved the accordion and had one when I was a child, it is something that I would love to play. I find it fascinating to play and accordion and love the sound of it. I like how one side sounds like a harmonica which I never really noticed. I never noticed how all those different types of music could come out of one instrument.
