happy hispanic heritage month to all the mixed/white/ambiguous looking “no sabo” kids who are embarrassed about trying to integrate their culture into their daily life because they don’t feel Hispanic/Latino enough or feel they don’t look the part, and most of all, feel shamed by their community/family when they try to learn more.

the 1980s marked a pivotal era in the rise of latino english-speaking recording pop artists who achieved mainstream success. this period witnessed the emergence of gloria estefan, menudo, and lisa lisa & the cult jam broke down barriers by blending dance-pop, soul, and electro music with latin rhythms. this captivating fusion created a path for a generation of young latino artists, including a teenage brenda k. starr to leave an indelible mark in the tapestry of pop music.

born brenda joy kaplan in new york city, a chance meeting with singer, actor, and activist harry belafonte on the set of the 1984 hip-hop movie “beat street,” landed a teenage brenda a role in the movie. the cameo garnered the attention of producer arthur baker who helped starr secure a record deal with mirage records.

brenda’s debut single, the pulsating “picking up the pieces,” was released in the summer of 1985 as the latin freestyle music genre was still taking shape. the song reached #10 billboard’s dance chart and #83 on the r&b chart. the success of the single made brenda one of the first latino breakout stars of the still-emerging freestyle genre.

by 1987, brenda signed with MCA records and released her eponymous sophomore effort. the album generated three charting singles, “breakfast in bed” (#6 latin, #18 dance), “what you see is what you get” (#6 dance, #24 pop), and the quiet storm classic “i still believe.” released in february 1988, the single ignited radio and propelled into the top 20 on billboard’s hot 100 and adult contemporary charts.

before i began to buy music with the money i earned from babysitting, i’d record my favorite songs from off the radio. whew, if that isn’t a generation x testimony, i don’t know what is. but i digress. 

one of the songs i remember recording was puerto rican pop singer brenda k. starr’s 1988 hit “i still believe.” i was living with my late aunt blanca in the spring of 1988, and we listened to power 99 fm’s quiet storm every night to record songs. one night, when “i still believe” began to play, blanca screamed, “record it!”

as the 90s dawned, brenda would experience personal and professional setbacks. the commercial viability of latin freestyle began to dissipate. many latino pop/dance artists found themselves banished from top 40 radio, and despite brenda’s multi-genre success, she had become primarily known as just the “friend who helped mariah carey secure a record contract.”

in the mid-90s, former latin freestyle artists india and marc anthony had successfully pivoted into salsa music as younger audiences re-discovered the genre. this opened a lane for brenda’s re-emergence as a salsa music sensation. her 1997 cover of myriam hernandez’s “herida” topped billboard’s tropical chart in the spring of 1997.

almost a decade after that summer with my aunt blanca, brenda’s music would have another family member screaming at me. in early 1997, my cousin evy called me at work to ask me if i remembered brenda k. starr. and of course, i did. she then said, “she is doing salsa now” and began to play “herida” over the phone. up until that point, salsa music was heard at family parties. but it took only one listen to brenda’s version of “herida” for me to run out and purchase her “te sigo esperando” album.

brenda’s album resonated with a new generation of fans and further showcased her ability to transcend and excel in multiple genres. in the years that followed, brenda continued to release and chart singles on the latin charts, including a 1999 salsa version of “i still believe.”

brenda k. starr’s musical odyssey continues. her journey from latin freestyle to her reinvention as salsa songstress has remained an enduring presence in her musical prowess. in just the past year, she has released two slammin’ freestyle tracks, “the only one i love” and “always remember,” and a pair of soaring salsa tracks, “quedate” and “soy otra mujer.”

a couple of months ago, i texted a friend a link to brenda’s latest freestyle single “always remember.” it is only now, as i write this, that i recognize how music brenda’s music has been something i shared with family and friends – for 35 years! whew, my gawd.

brenda k. starr is a luminary preserving the sounds of both latin freestyle and salsa music, genres with strong roots in puerto rican communities. her musical journey is a testament that great artists are not confined to boundaries. instead, they adapt, evolve, and continue contributing to the ever-evolving sound symphony. this is why i still believe in brenda k. starr.

by the way, any variant of "gringo is a slur", or "gringo is just a replacement for [insert slur here]", esp when motherfuckers have been calling latinos so many different slurs since the very beginning that there's probably enough to fit up your ass, is insane and ill cannibalize you for it

It's Hispanic Heritage month!

As such, we're looking at one of our collections in the University Archives: The Latino-Native American Cultural Center Records (LNACC). Some of the materials also hail from our vertical file on the center.

In 1970, the Daily Iowan, the student newspaper, reported that the Chicano and Indian American Student Union (CIASU) applied for chartered org status, saying they hoped to unite Chicanos and Indigenous people and to preserve their heritage and identity. They also wanted to recruit more individuals like them to become students at the University of Iowa.

CIASU organized and implemented a recruitment program where they attended community events and visited high schools to "convince Chicano and Indian young people that they can get a chance to realize their potential at a university." However, the organization soon realized that bringing the students wasn't enough, they needed a central hub. This is how LNACC, (though at the time called the Chicano Indian American Cultural Center), was created.

(An image of the original founders of CIASU / LNACC)

In the summer of 1971, three students: Tony Zavala, Ruth Pushetonequa, and Nancy "Rusty" Barceló were fundamental in securing the campus building for the cultural center, and were its founders.

In her opening remarks at an April 1973 conference on campus, Barceló stated that "It was because of the Cultural Center that I and others survived as students. It was a space 'which embraced' who we were without explanation." The rest of her remarks can be read in the newspaper below:

According to their website, " The center was founded as a “friendship” house formed by students for students. In 1994, it was renamed the Latino-Native American Cultural Center. Over the years, this center has become the home to many students and student organizations that sponsor conferences, pow-wows, study groups, community educational programs, boycotts, and rallies to address community and campus issues. This center is a “home away from home” to all that walk through our doors. The center very much operates as a home and hub as it includes: study and game rooms, a library, internet and computers, printers, games, a kitchen, and more.

Below are a few snapshots from the Latino-Native American Cultural Center Records housed in Special Collections & Archives.

LNACC, like many of the other cultural centers on campus, are still important to maintaining a comfortable, safe, and inclusive environment to the marginalized students that have called UIowa their home. Visit Special Collections & Archives to see more materials from the collection!
