A Lecture by Marco Cervantes
M.A., University of Texas at San Antonio
B.A., University of Houston—Downtown

NEW DATE
November 5th 2008
1-2:15 PM
Cullen Auditorium
3rd Floor Main Building

Cervantes will discuss the music and material culture of rappers South Park Mexican and Chingo Bling and explain how both artists managed to transcend the grip of corporate industry control, break into the mainstream, and create scattered communities globally. Questions he’ll consider:
Do South Park Mexican and Chingo Bling enforce limited depictions of Blacks and Chicanos in Houston?
In such a diversified city, why aren’t there more varied representations of Houston hip hop in mainstream media?
