Reseña del editor Thee Express was founded by Ricardo Vavages in 1978. Originally called Papago Express, the band changed its name to Thee Express when the Papago tribe changed their name to Tohono O'odham. Rupert Vavages now leads the band, joined by his son Steve as well as Isaac Vavages, Andy Juan, Brandis Joaquin, and Ryan Felix. Thee Express brings their latest album with new songs and old hits. Jam On! Críticas In 1978, Ricardo Vavages founded 'Papago Express,' an energetic American Indian waila dance band. In the 1980's, when the tribe changed its name to Tohono O'odham, Vavages also changed the name of the band, and 'Thee Express' was born. The band now consists of Rupert Babages; his son, Steve; Isaac Vavages; Andy Juan; Brandis Joaquin; and Ryan Felix. Their latest album on Canyon Records, 'Express Yourself,' is a combination of old favorites and exciting new tunes.Waila has a fascinating history that reveals the inspiring innovation of Native musicians throughout the last three centuries.In 1694, missionary Father Eusebio Francisco Kino became the first European to enter Tucson. Throughout the 1700's, the Spanish continued to colonize and settle the rivervalleys of southern Arizona, establishing missions along the way. The entire territory remained part of Spain, then Mexico, until the Gadsden Purchase of 1853 placed Southern Arizona in the posession of the United States.In these Catholic missions, priests taught the local mission educated Indians, particularly the Tohono O-odham (at that time the Papago), to play European musical instruments. Guitars and fiddles were the most prominent types of Spanish instrumentation, and soon these budding musicians were providing music for Mass.European revolutions around 1848 brought many talented German immigrants to Texas, bringing with them accordions and a love for schottische, mazurka and polka music. When these exciting new types of rhythmic dance music were unveiled in Arizona, adventuresome musicians began experimenting with the new sound.Tohono O'odham bands began performing the new music at festivals and social dances called waila. Waila is an O'odham word meaning 'dance' and is derived from the Spanish word baile.Meanwhile, boarding school-educated Indian students were being introduced to new instruments like the saxophone and snare and bass drum. By the 1950's, a typical Tohono O'odham dance band consisted of a guitar, string bass, fiddle, accordion, saxophone and small drum kit. These bands played a combination of European and Mexican tunes in styles that included the polka, schottische, mazurka and norteno music.Interestingly enough, Native dancers performed a 'walking two-step' or a 'chote' with smooth gliding movements as well as a traditional Tohono O'opdham dance, which involves kicking out the heels, much like a chicken scratching the ground. The result was chicken scratch.Chicken scratch has been a cultural phenomenon on the Tohono O'odham, Pima Salt River, and Gila River reservations since the 1950's; but by the early 1970's, the spirited strains of waila had also invaded the desert communities of southern Arizona from Phoenix to Sonora, Mexico.The traditional setting for waila music is an all-night fest, or piast. These celebrations are held to commemorate religious holidays, weddings, birthdays, graduations and other special occasions.During the piast, feasting and merrymaking begin at sundown and end at sunrise. Participants surround an elaborately decorated dance ramada. Bonfires light the faces of the cheerful festival goers. The entire community, both young and old, enjoys the revelry and participates in the dancing.In 1972, Canyon Records released its first recording of waila music: a compilation album of two bands, El Conjunto Murrieta and Mike Enis and Company. The album was simply titled 'Chicken Scratch!' Sales were phenomenal, and Canyon began a search for more waila bands. Today, Canyon has an extensive catalog of more than 60 waila recordings, and chicken scratch is a mainstay of many South-western bars, dance clubs and radio play lists.In recent years, waila music has spread beyond the reservation community. Southern Arizona festivals devoted to waila draw thousands of chicken scratch enthusiasts each year.
