If Las Mananitas is for birthdays, Christmas and the Virgin de Guadalupe, what corrido is for Saints' Days? Where can I find the lyrics and MIDI? Any others out there? I already have Malaguena and Las Mananitas.
A friend writes:
Chicano means people moving to the US after Porfirio Diaz fell in 1910. Texicans of hispanic descent and culture are of 2 basic groups. Canary Island settlers brought hispanic culture to Texas. Native Texans were educated in this culture by Franciscan Brothers at Roman Catholic Missions. Other Native Americans settling in Northern Mexico are Seminole/Negro tribes and Kickapoo, invited as a buffer between Apaches and Mestizos. The term "Chicano," originally unknown and not historically used in Texas, means trailer trash to the hispanic Texan with his own proud heritage. The term was used by Mexican settlers in Arizona and California but not Texas, misuse of historical terminology. A Texican of hispanic origin says "we chicanos must stick together," threw so-called Chicanos out of his house. Recent use of the term and supposed honors bestowed by naming streets after Cesar Chavez are considered an abomination compared to honors earned by Texicans of hispanic descent. They don't belong in Texas. Norteņo, Ranchero, Bolero and salsa are terms acceptable in Texas, NOT Chicano.
Las mananitas Sung traditionally for birthdays. Why not simchas too? Que linda esta la manana en que vengo a saludarte venimos todos con gusto y placer a felicitarte El dia en que tu naciste nacieron todas las flores en la pila del bautismo cantaron los ruisenores Ya viene amaneciendo ya la luz del dia nos dio levenate de manana mira que ya amanecio Quisiera ser solecito para entrar por tu ventana y darte los buenos dias acostadita en tu cama Quisiera ser un San Juan quisiera ser un San Pedro para venirte a saludar con la musica del cielo LAS MANANITAS TAPATIAS
