The Narciso Martinez Cultural Arts Center is proud to present a Conjunto Music Presentation by members of the The Chicken Club. The Chicken Club is a group of musicians who meet on Tuesdays to do nothing more than to share conjunto music, but most importantly to share in the spirit of comradeship. While these musicians had been gathering at different homes in past years, about a year they decided to formalize the group with the name of the Chicken Club. Even though the Chicken Club is not an organization, i.e., a non profit organization with by-laws or a formal structure, it does have some simple rules to follow.
Why the Chicken Club? That is one of the rules of the group. Whenever they meet, the gathering will consist of bar-b-cuing chicken leg quarters, drinks, and music. The other rule is that those that attend the Chicken Club gatherings must participate either by singing, playing an instrument, or holding conversations with the guests. The key is participation. But the most important aspect of the Chicken Club gatherings is that you can not engage in arguments. No arguing is allowed. Anyone who does engage in argument will not be invited again. The core value of the Chicken Club is to provide a space where people can share through conversation and music. It is very therapeutic and a whole lot of fun.
While many members of the Chicken Club have participated in various Narciso Martinez Cultural Arts Center functions, this will be the first time we formally present the Chicken Club as our featured 2nd Weensday conjunto oral history program. Please join us in an evening of great conjunto music and good old down home fun.
