The Brownsville Heritage Complex invites the public to 1st Sunday Music and Merienda Series, a musical lecture program presented by Joe and Rosa Perez of Rumbo al'Anacua at 2 p.m., Sunday, July 5, 2009.

The event is free for BHA members and $2 for non-members.

The Music and Merienda series is a monthly music lecture incorporating stories, poems, and socio-historic commentary with vintage Mexican roots music performed in the rustic ranchero duet style. Topics will vary each month. The Sunday music presentation coincides with the hour of "la merienda," an afternoon gathering for coffee and pastry that is a long time South Texas tradition.
