Episode Description
This is a report on the premiere of “Half and Halves,” a Mexican and Indian dance presentation that explores the social, cultural and emotional history of the blending of Punjabi and Mexican families in California in the early 20th century. A collaboration between distinguished Indian and Mexican choreographers in San Francisco, the dance work features Mexican folkloric dance combined with Bhangra, a harvest celebration dance from Punjab. The choreographers tell the story of how Punjabi farm workers, who were not allowed to bring their wives nor marry white women, met Mexican women and created a new, Indo-Mexican community. This edition starts the third season of the series Raíces. Guests: Zenón Barrón, Artistic director, Ballet Folklórico Ensambles de San Francisco, San Francisco, CA; Alvaro Ray Singh, retired fruit grower, Mexican mother and Punjabi father, Selma, CA; María del Consuelo Singh Robledo, Mexican-American wife of Punjabi immigrant, Selma, CA; Farida Jhabvala Romero, daughter of Indian father and Mexican mother, Radio Bilingüe’s news producer, Oakland, CA.
