Jesus Chuy Negrete has a way with history. With guitar and harmonica at hand, the “Chicano Woody Guthrie” shares his experiences as the son of migrant farmworkers through storytelling, poetic song and corridos.
On February 25 at the U-SU Los Angeles Room at Cal State Los Angeles, Chuy Negrete will continue his career as musicologist and interpreter of Mexican and Chicano music at the “500 Years of Chicana/O History” lecture where he is expected to share with attendees his perspective of growing up Chicano.
Dr. Negrete is also the founder and director of the Mexican Cultural Institute, and has lectured, performed and taught in numerous universities across the nation.
Aside from his doctoral degree from the University California-Berkeley, Dr. Negrete earned degrees from the University of Illinois at Chicago and Chicago State University with specialties in educational anthropology and ethnomusicology or the comparative study of music of different cultures.
