Take It Away screening - McAllen Friday evening

6:30pm. Doors open.

7:00pm – 8:14pm. Take it Away directed by Adrian Arredondo & Myrna Perez. 74 minutes. Documentary. Today, artists like Peso Pluma and Grupo Frontera dominate the airwaves. The meteoric rise of Tejano and Regional Mexican music can arguably be traced to one man: Johnny Canales, whose syndicated music variety show was appointment viewing in millions of households across North America and launched the careers of legendary musicians like Selena, Ramon Ayala, and Intocable. Through deep archival footage and interviews, TAKE IT AWAY explores the rise and fall not just of Canales, but the evolution of the genre itself.
