The West Side Sound Oral History Project

Monday, February 19, 2024 | 12:30 pm - 2:00 pm | Brazos Hall Lobby

The West Side Sound Oral History Project is a collaboration between two Mexican American Studies professors from UTSA, two music historians and DJs, and the local community. By focusing on the West Side Sound, a genre of music that draws from conjunto music, R&B, doo wop and other Black musical genres, and by inviting the community to share their stories, this project showcases the contributions made to music and U.S. history by Black and Chicana/o/x communities.
