The National Endowment for the Humanities’s “Music Unwound” festival wrapped up a series of concerts and lectures in and around El Paso, Texas, earlier this week.
The program highlights the cultural contributions Mexico has made to the United States. The event’s theme — as well as its location, less than a mile from the U.S. border with Mexico — is significant at a time of heightened tension between the two nations.
Armando Trull ( @trulldc) from Here & Now contributor WAMU was at the festival and has this report.
