food & music

Hola,
I'm a bit slow here and just catching up on the
celebrations, food, etc conversation. It reminded me that
I have a recording made in the 1950's of my two
great-great aunts. They discuss life on the rancho in
Carmel Valley, California and it includes a song or two.
These ladies would be second generation California-born
BORONDAs, granddaughters of Jose Manuel BORONDA,
supposedly born in Jerez, Zacatecas (or Guadalajara,
depending on which family genealogist you ask). I think
the food is Spanish-California-ish by that time -- beans
cooked until they pop (but not like refried); bull's head
(the cheeks?); a menudo sort of thing, squid, etc. I am
particularly interested in the songs, which are, of course
in Spanish (though the ladies spoke English). I wonder if
they would suggest the family's origins in Mexico. Is
this something I could upload to the site, or would sound
files be too big? The songs are fairly brief if I recall
correctly.
