General:
The White City built on 140 acres in west London included 120 buildings and 20 pavilions, an elaborate outdoor bandstand with seating in the gardens, and a stadium for the 1908 Summer Olympics. Exhibitions were staged in the summer months every year starting in 1908, first partnering Britain and France for a celebration of industry, culture and empire. In 1909 the Second Imperial International included Russia; in 1910 a Japanese-British exhibition was held. In 1911 the focus shifted to the coronation of George V, with featured themes being the British empire, monarchy, commercial and industrial power. In the following year, 1912, the summer event celebrated ties between Latin America and Britain, and the last great event in 1914 honored the Anglo-American relationship.
During World War I the site was used for training troops and during World War II the buildings were converted for parachute manufacturing. In the years between the wars the site was used for a British Industries fair. The stadium built for the 1908 Olympics was used for racing greyhounds until it was demolished in 1985. In 1949 the BBC bought some of the property for its first Television Centre
Persons associated with the property include: Imre Kiralfy (developer of White City and stadium grounds, 1907-1908).

Introduction:
The Ralph Rinzler Memorial Concert is an annual event that honors the legacy of Smithsonian Folklife Festival co-founder Ralph Rinzler and his support of "citizen artists," people whose creativity and art-making summon public engagement, foster social awareness, and build bridges among communities.
The 2015 Rinzler Concert also paid tribute to the fiftieth anniversary of both the Delano Grape Strike and the passage of the Immigration and Nationality (Hart-Celler) Act, two events that significantly impacted the cultural landscape of California and the United States. It was co-presented with the Smithsonian Latino Center and curated by the Alliance for California Traditional Arts and featured the California sounds of two distinctively powerful ensembles, Agustín Lira & Alma and Viento Callejero.
The artists represented different stylistic and geographic coordinates across the long trajectory of Latino music in California, from the region's earlier occupation by Mexico to the Latino plurality that characterizes the state today. They reflected the diversity, historical continuity, and the transformation of communities. They demonstrated the importance of music for illuminating civil rights struggles, countering social and political marginalization, and celebrating cultural heritage.
Agustín Lira & Alma chronicle the experiences and hidden histories of Chicano, Indigenous, and immigrant communities integral to California's cultural fabric. Drawing from his experiences as a farmworker in the San Joaquin Valley and inspired by both Mexican and Anglo American musical traditions, Lira contributed to producing the sounds that helped mobilize a historic labor and civil rights movement in the mid-1960s. Participants and allies of the farmworkers' struggle shared his songs at planning meetings, frontline protests, rallies, and the 1966 United Farm Workers' pilgrimage from Delano to Sacramento. In 2007, Lira was honored as a National Heritage Fellow by the National Endowment for the Arts.
Viento Callejero ("street breeze") represents the youthful vigor of a renaissance of Latino dance music in communities from East L.A. to Oakland. This Los Angeles-based ensemble is part of a younger generation of artists driving the resurgence of cumbia - reinterpreting this Afro-Colombian form and providing new opportunities for creative collaborations and community building. Breaking down the rhythmic and melodic pulse of cumbia, son montuno, merengue, reggae, dance hall, funk, and rock, Viento Callejero brings a fresh approach to urban "tropical" music, stripping it to its rawest elements and unleashing a sound that keeps audiences on their feet.
Produced in collaboration with the Alliance for California Traditional Arts, this presentation previewed a future Smithsonian Folklife Festival program focusing on California communities. It was supported by the Smithsonian Grand Challenges Consortia for the Humanities and part of the Smithsonian Our American Journey - Immigration/Migration Initiative.
