Voices of Arizona
A tale of Arizona’s early Spanish history expressed in song by Amy Lowe and Dave Katzman. One of MCTV's earliest fine arts presentations, originally produced by the students of the Maricopa Institute for Arts and Entertainment Technology.
From Amy Lowe's Web Page:

The 16th century journey of Estevanico the Black (a.k.a. Esteban or Little Steven) is unprecedented in American history. His eight year odyssey changed the map of the world. Estevanico became the first non-Native American to cross the Mexican-American border and enter Arizona / New Mexico territory. This important and dramatic tale is brought to life through narrative and song by Amy Lowe and Dave Katzman.  If you are interested in more info on Estevanico The Black, click here to access an article from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Mesa Community College - TheatreOutback Presents:
Joe Bethancourt
           "Music of the American Heartland" - Part One
An MCC Theatre Scholarship fund raising concert, featuring Joe Bethancourt, Arizona born (and North Carolina reared and musically influenced), traditional musician and storyteller and his "amazing prestidigitory banjo playing" and acoustic guitar "freehand flatpicking without a safety net of any kind." 

Bethancourt is a master of over 65 instruments, from ancient African stringed gourd precursors of the banjo, to electronic synthesized bagpipes... and a born balladeer whose moods run from country, folk, and bluegrass to Celtic, sci-fi filk and just plain weird...
not to mention often hilariously comic if not downright raunchy.

A fun, and often rollicking, musical excursion into the history of Arizona and its rural, rustic past. 

Recorded by the MCC Media Department at the Theatre Outback on Sept. 8, 2006.
