A MessageMariposaBy Doug LittleP resid ent, FesoVa/s O ntar i oto'9LFor.o." than 30 years, Festival goershave converled at the site named as thevenue for Mariposa. The longstandingtradition of celebration continues solidtoday, thanks to unswerving commitmentof the Mariposa Folk Foundation to itscommunity.People are at the heart of any celebrationand festivals are no different. Mariposa isa festival of the people. It is a celebrationthat is shared by the communify that notonly works hard to deliver the show butthat also revels in the outpouring ofgoodmusic, friendship, joy and yes, festival organizers,fun !The measure of success of any communitybasedfestival is pretty straight forward -the degree to which the community canand does feel a part of the celebration. InOntario today, there are some 1,500 community-basedfestivals that share the commonpassion that is to create enjoymentand involve people in their celebrations.These festivals tue a wonderful indicatorof the strong sense of community that existsthroughout the province, whether it begeographically based or created tocelebrate a special ihterest, orjust an excuseto come together for a good time.Festivals Ontario is a keen supporter ofMariposa, a festival that celebrates thevery essence of the musical communityand everyone who enjoys music andpeople.

PRESTDENT'SII{IESSAGEWelcome to the Mariposa Folk Festival - back in Toronto!On behalf of the Board of Directors ofthe Mariposa Folk Foundation, I would like to welcome youto this year's Festival and express our sincere appreciation that you have come to share theweekend with us.As those of you familiar with Mariposa's history will know, our festival has been held in half adozen locations over the last 30 years. From Oiittia to Innis Lake, from Toronto to Barrie, we havemoved with changing circumstances and worked to make each successive site our own.When the late June weather last year proved that something less than ideal circumstances wouldkeep our audience from coming to Barrie in the numbers ttiey traO in L989, we were once again onthe road. In the mid-st of a wide ranging site search in the Toronto area, we were approach;d by OntarioPlace to.bring Mariposa to one of Ontario's premier family music and entertiinment venues.Several meetings and chilly late winter site walks iater, key'co-ordinators and volunteers agreedthat we could make the Festival work on the Ontario Pla; site. Particularly thanks to MaiBeck,General Manager of Ontario Place and Lou Seiler, Senior Manager of programming, the planningprocess has been very productive, and a true pleaiure.while coping with moving the festival, we were notified that theMariposa office would also have to relocate. After castingabout, we eventually found our current home at7g6 Dun-dasStreet East. with very hard work on the part of staff and volunteers,we evenfually settled into the Foundation,s new home.Again, through the extraordinary efforts of our staff and volunteers,we somehow managed to carry on during the past yearwith most of our usual programming, such as our cohceris andthe Notes, along with undertaking new initiatives such as theEarth Day celebration in Sherwood park and Mariposa atDesigners Walk. On May 2lth,the film "Mariposa - Special atThirty" was seen across canada on crv. Filrned last summer atour 30th anniversary festival at Molson park, the producersfr_o1 Lyric Films also, incorporated fascinating arihival footageof th: early days at Mariposa. One of our events of long stand_11Sbecame. "Mariposa Showcase in the Park" ihis year, and was presented on the campus of yorkUniversity in late July.As. ou1 l-991-92 program-and financial year begins in September, everyone at Mariposa has beengoing "above and beyond" to present an orrtstanding Feitival, while Oiatting budgeis, planning concerts,along with the myriad of tasks that keep Mariposa humming.However, the week of September 6,7, and 8th will give all of us at Mariposa an opportunity toshare a wonderful weekend of music, dance and crtfts with you, our audience. Th;nks to everyoneat Ontario Place, along-with our corporate,private and government supporters, we will continue toweave into the fabric of our society the shining thread tliat is Mariposa.President, Mariposa Board of Directors5

MARIPOSA: The Festivalof Roots Music 1991

AR-TTSTIC DTRECTOR'S II{ESSAGETnto"tnthick and thin, wind, rain and storm, we're back again. New Site. New concert stages.New artists. And, hopefully, the same old Mariposa. This festival, through all its ups and downs, hasalways been dedicated to creating a setting in which magic can happen. -Now that it's 1991, the mere mention of aword like "magic" can give some people a nasty case ofthe post-hippie blushes. Sorry, but we're going to raise a-few more phrases ihaf sound o.iaty out-ofsyncwith the testing t'uT"t we're all going through. Like: music can heal wounds;.musican giveyougtrenglh; music makes olr daily lives more meaningful. Music may not be able to change theworld, but it can help us make an attempt.Toionto's music world isin disanay. The Symphony struggles with smaller audiences, funding forthe arts is stretched past its breaking point, and a new theatre for ballet and opera is sandbagled(that paradise is now being paved for a parking lot). The Diamond - a club thit could accom-riodatealmost anykind of music - has gone, alongwith the El Mocambo, the Church Street Cafe, andother casualties of tighter pocketbooks and landlords who prefer empty buildings to a reasonableunderstanding of the income the arts generate in difficult times.The Toronto clubs and bars that showcase live music haveexperienced the worst summer they can recall: for the firsttime in a recession the music and the musicians have takena savage beating. Our own festival depends on volunteersupport (for which we are eternally grateful), but we hangon by the skin of our teeth, still convinced that festivals likethis are not only a lot of fun but are valuable cultural eventsthat enrich the communities inwhich theyhappen.Perhaps the unhappiness all of us seem to feel - with ourgovenlments, with the economy, with the divisions in ourcountry symbolized by the collapse of Meech Lake, themixed effects of Free Trade, and the status of Canada's indigenouspeoples - has become so ingrown that we justaren't roady to give music the chance to calm, heal, inspire,and energize us once again.Now Mariposa has returned to Toronto, maybe just in timeto set us back on a more optimistic path. The range ofmusic here is as wide (and sometimes apparently bizarre!) as it was in the 60ls; the mix ofotd ananew, past present and future that has always been Mariposa remains intact.Will the magic happen agan? If we've guessed right, if our performers enjoy themselves, if you participate- by applauding, by dancing, by thinking about the music you hear - Mariposa will succeedagain. Your support is not only appreciated . by festival organizers and performers alike - but necessary.Enjoy the music!a-\t l )ll\'(@".J FLbLaRichard Flohil,./Artistic Director, Mariposa Festival 199LMARIPOSA: The Festival of Roots Music i99i

LOS LOBOSFive Guys From the NeighbourhoodByHoward Druckmanfn 088, Los Lobos were in perfect positionto trade their cult following for themiddle leagues of American Pop. Theband's version of Richie Valens old hit,nl-aBamba", became their first (anddnly) record to crack Billboard's TopTen. The video for the single was inheavyrotation on MTV and MuchMusic. It's a position any struggling bandwould kill for, and a follow-up album ofcatchy, accessible rock'n'roll could haveeasily transferred them from the 3,000-seaters to the stadiums.Instead, Los Lobos chose to put out LaPistola Y El Corazon, an album of traditionalMexican folk songs sung entirely inSpanish. Despite the beckoningmainstream (and its attendant dilution),they decided to celebrate their undilutedheritage as a Chicano band from EastLos Angeles."'La Bamba'was positive in a lot ofways," says David Hidalgo, who sings,strums, and plays accordian in the band."But at the same time, it was ss6sthingfrom a soundtrack, so we felt a littleremoved from it. Part of the reason fordoing La Pistola was to get back tobasics. And also (because of the successof 'La Bamba') we had that opportunityto do it at that time."Los Lobos'actions speak so much louderthan all those rock stars who feign disinterestin fame and fortune. And Los'lnbos don't bother to profess it, just likethey don't bother to wear their authenticityon their sleeve. They don't have to,because thefre not rock stars, and haveasfhing to prove (beyond their music, orto anybody but themselves). Like Popeye,they yam what they yam and that's allwhat theyyam: Five self-effacing, levelheaded,blue-collar guys who just happento be one of the finest roots-rock bandsin the world.Their sixth and latest album, The Neigh'borhood, is a portrait of their native EastL.A. -- where all five still reside. It coversthe hardscrabble struggles ofghetto lifeand its hard-earned moments of consolationand release, with the sort of insightthat bespeaks actual e4perience. $pically,the accent is on the family ties that canbind and heal throughout the strife."Our family lives are our day-to-dayreality," says Hidalgo. "So that's a big influenceon what we do. I remember growingup and seeing my parents goingthrough hard times, but theywere alwaysable to be loving and saring."As with most of Los Lobos'body ofwork, the album was recorded mostlyIive, and offers their eclectic-but-authenticapproach. They cover everything fromdance-craze pafty tunes to Mexicanhuapangos, bluesy roadhouse rock toTexan waltzes, soulful balladry to Texmexrave-ups.But that stylistic blend is e4pected in aband that houseso many individualskills. Los Lobos boasts two vocalists(Hidalgo and underratedly brilliant leadguitarist Cesar Rosas), three songwriters(Rosas, who sticks largely to blues, Hidalgo,and drummer/guitarist Louie Perez),and five fairly e4pert multi-instrumentalists(including bassist Conrad I-ozanoand saxophonist Steve Berlin)."'We're lsem players," says Hidalgo. "Wetry to do whatever it takes to get the songacross. It's the spirit of the song."Indeed it is. As adolescents in the mid-60's, the members of Los Lobos were individuallyinspired by -- surprise! --British Invasion rock. Partly to escapefrom playing the requisitb Top,l0material in bars and clubs, they took uptheir traditional acoustic Mexican folkmusic. (Which, back then, was laughinglyMARIPOSA: The Festival of Roots Music 1991 42dismissed as unhip, old-fashioned nonsense.The fact that this is the style ofmusic they'll be playing at The MariposaFestival this year offers testimony to itslasting strength.)By the late 70's, Los Lobos were playingcomfortable, well-paid performances atMexican restaurants and weddings, tosupport their families and pay the rent.But they found electric instruments androck'n'roll creeping back into theirmusic. As usual, they sacrificed theirsecurity for their sound, playrng miserably-payr"gggs, opening up for gritty punkbands and initially unfriendly audiencesin Hollywood. Love over gold."We just asked ourselves whether wewere going to do this (play restaurantsand weddings) for the rest of our lives,"says Hidalgo. "Or whether we weregoing to try to do ssmslhing with it. Wedecided to at least give it a shot."That decision, like the one to record LaPistola after "La Bamba", made for badbusiness in the short run, but for greatmusic in the end. Ultimately, their reachingout has provided Los Lobos with agood living a c:reer, widespread criticalacclai-, a loyal following, and the opportunityto expose their culture to the world.Not bad, for five guys from the neighborhood.

fJntil the Eler.enth Ffour(rt least)Bq Rick FieldingI initially became aw:ue of "the greatdebate" upon receiving my flust copy of"Sing Out, the folk song magazine", at thetender and impressionable age of fourteen.Along with make-your-own dulcimerads and songs, old and new, tellingthe bosses to go screw themselves, therewas, in every issue, a number of letters tothe editor. The burning question was"What is folk music, and what isn't?"Readers scren-ed in print about commercialism,sslling out, political conciousness(and lack of such), and how BobDylan broke their hearts by plugging in.Academics with more degrees than athermometer provided dissertations onoral tradition and mis-use of copyrights.Homespun banjo playing academicsquoted everyone from Big Bill Broonzey("it must be folk, 'cause I never seen ahorse sing it") to Plato, whose opinionson the subject have slipped my mind.Would they had asked Mr. Sartre he nodoubt would have said, "Who cares? Nowdrop the whole thing immediately!" IJnfortunatelythe "whole thing" continueson today, and will into the future becauseit's just so doggone much fun for thedebaters.My friend William asked me once whv Iwould embrace a sucky love song by TomPaxton, wffis lss6iling in horror at theidea of learni"g an equally sentimentaleffort byJohnnie Mathis. William obviouslywasn't much of a devotee of "Si.gOut", and needn't have worried about hissubscription feing cancelled if word ofhis suspect musical taste had reached theears of Mr. Silber* in New York. A numberofyears ago I taught a course atHumber College that had ro6elhing todo with folk music. I honestlv don'tremember what it was cailed, or what Iwas supposed to be teaching, io aoydetail. I do remember that it was well attended,because I told prospective takersthat if they showed up, they would passthe course, and I remember playing lotsof records, while trying to e4plain whatthe music was all about. One dav a studentbrought in a recordi'g of FrankSg.atra, singing "Blues Before Midnight",which had been the subiect of a priorclass. I e4plained abouitwelve bir structuresetc. and should have stopped there,but by the time I was frnished. I think Ihad exhausted every cliche in the book.Sinatra: white, rich, popular, hardly a guywith the blues. Carr: black, poor,deceased, therefore authentic. Had Mr.Carr, however, lived beyond thirty years,and gotten his big break, he might verywell have played Vegas and shot my argumentfirll of holes. If power corruptseveryone then longevity will certainly dothe same to most of us. Even TomPaxton, had he survived that audition forthe Chad Mitchell Trio, might have goneon to be John Denver and occupied thatsame Vegas stage. I should have saidyears ago, that Carr and Paxton movedme and Mathis and Sinatra did nor.As to the question "Where is folk musictoday and where is it going?", the answeris, "I don't know, and neither do vou. Butif you've got a few hours to spare...If I were, God forbid, the artistic directorof a festival (possibly the most thanklessjob going), I mighl try to handle the"what is and what isn't" question thusly.I'd go after the youth vote by hiring acouple of street bands, but only afterhaving theirjeans sent out for forensictesting to make sure that the rips in theknees are the result ofhard trivellin'.hard ramblin' and hard gamblin', and notcreated by mothers sewing shears. Todeal with the rest, I would advertise foreveryone who thinks that they're a folkm rsician to congregate in some largewell-ventilated area, welcome them, andthen go for a beer or seven, while thevdecide the line-up themselves, by secietballot, seniority, or mano-a-mano. Ifan1one snuck in who really stretched mydefrnition of "folk", I'd make them play inthe beer tent and do workshops ol"wiiatis folk music?" or "roots musiC versusroots vegetables."Before trailing off into the sunset, I'llleave you with one sobering statisticdirect from the mouth of a long timeveteran of "Sam the Record Man" (currentlyknown as "Sam the CD person")."Folk music is one tenth of one percentof the musical pie!" Eegad! I think l,llstick with Big Bill's definition for thetime.Irwin Silber was the Editor of ,,Sing OufMagazine in the 60sn/ao ED E FT. I\I FR.OCK
