| Variant title | Polka : roots of Mexican accordion playing in South Texas and North Mexico |
| Series | Ethnographic video online, volume 2 |
| Abstract | The film confronts the accordion music of Chicano immigrants in southern Texas with the traditional music of accordion players in Austria. Without making any final judgments on the ‘roots’ of ‘conjunto’ music of the Chicanos, the film is able to reveal the different claims to ethnic identity. Most interestingly, Chicanos in Mexico and Texas and Austrians comment upon each others’ way of playing Polka. |
