 26 11:00AM Dom Flemons’ Mexican-American Roots and the Celebration of La
 lo Guerrero LaloFest Workshops This online presentation is the first of a 
 series of virtual and in-person lead-up events to The Freight's upcoming L
 alo Guerrero Legacy Festival on November 6 & 7\, 2026. Join Grammy-winning
  musician Dom Flemons and his wife/creative collaborator Vania Kinard for 
 a virtual exploration of Mexican and Chicano musical heritage. This sessio
 n centers on the legendary "Father of Chicano Music\," Lalo Guerrero \, an
 d the deep cultural music that defines the American Southwest. The event f
 eatures an intimate conversation between Dom and Vania\, offering a behind
 -the-scenes look at their archival research\, their music collection\, Dom
 ’s Mexican-American ancestry\, and his family’s music legacy that exte
 nds as far back as the late 1800s. Together\, they will explore the signif
 icance of preserving these sounds and the stories they tell about Mexicans
  and Chicano identity. Dom reflects deeply on his personal connection to t
 his history\, tracing his Mexican-American roots back to his family’s lo
 ngstanding presence in Phoenix. As a 6th generation Black Mexican from the
  Southwest\, Dom has connected his family memories and his grandmother’s
  stories to Lalo Guerrero’s broader legacy. This discussion illustrates 
 how Chicano music is a foundational pillar of the American songbook rather
  than a mere subgenre. From the rhythmic pulse of the mid-century era to t
 he modern resonance of heritage\, this event offers a profound look at the
  music that shaped the southwestern region\n\nhttps://secure.thefreight.or
