Music of the Mexico-United States border was, indeed, part of Americo Paredes' studies. The Web site about him is at http://www.lib.utexas.edu/benson/paredes/.

I wondered about the Americo Paredes poster, though, because many aspects of Paredes' scholarship are mentioned in the TEXT of that poster, but music is NOT mentioned as a subject of his research in the TEXT of that poster. The photography/illustrations on the poster are almost exclusively musical, however (guitar, music notation, etc.). I happen to know his son Vince Paredes, who was a band director at my high school, and I do think Americo Paredes studied music as a subject fairly extensively, even though it is not mentioned in the text of the poster. When I did a search for Paredes on the UT Online database, I found that OPA was supposed to be maintaining a new website in Paredes' honor, but I could not find that website. Is there a link somewhere to the website for Paredes, and does anyone know whether Paredes had a particular focus on music as an area of cultural research (perhaps that is why the illustrations on his poster are musical)?
