Review: “Raíces en Remix” at La Tijera Gallery, Brownsville
The moment I read the title Raíces en Remix, I found myself wondering, “What would the soundtrack of my own roots sound like?”. Music is essential at every gathering. In South Texas and Northern Mexico, we gather often, and we gather to eat. These celebrations become a ritual. Someone fires up the pit. Someone chops the onions. Someone argues about the playlist. Children run in loops between folding tables. The radio hums in the background. The tías exchange the latest chisme. Every voice adds a note. What emerges is not noise, but composition: layered, rhythmic, communal. A living soundtrack of belonging.

Plan Your Ghost Town Road Trip To Monte Christo, Texas
You’ll find Monte Christo’s historical marker on FM 1925’s north side, just east of FM 2993, about 17 miles northwest of McAllen. The actual townsite sits 2.5 miles north on private property, where little remains of the 1,500 settlers who fled bandit raids and broken water promises between 1914 and 1934. Bring your imagination—street layouts have vanished beneath South Texas brush, leaving only scattered foundations and the silence of reclaimed fields.
