Striking A Chord

Is it the place that makes the music or the music that makes the place? Like the chicken and the egg, sometimes it's hard to discern which came first. Border rock is a new term that attempts to categorize the hybrid sound that bridges Hispanic and American culture. This cross-pollination of communities could be the key to unlocking the extent to which the neighboring countries influence the creativity, mentality and political agenda of those inhabitants stuck in limbo between the towering border wall and Safeway's frozen chimichangas. Or...it could, just simply, rock. I'll do the research and you decide.
