All the music and most of the images in the exhibit are part of the Frontera Collection, the world’s largest repository of commercially recorded Mexican and Mexican American vernacular music. The Frontera Collection is a project of the Arhoolie Foundation, funded in part by the National Endowment for the Arts, National Endowment for the Humanities, the GRAMMY Foundation, Los Tigres Del Norte, and numerous individual donors. We are grateful for all the support for the Frontera Collection and we are happy to provide this exhibition as one part of this diverse collection.
