Their individual careers soared in the 1940s thru the 1970s. All of these women once hailed from San Antonio's Westside barrio. Time had almost forgotten them. And now that these "tesoros" or treasures have been rediscovered, these magnificent women are telling amazing stories. Las Tesoros de San Antonio - "A Westside Story". Examines the personal toll and legacy of four South Texas singers of yesteryear. Rita "La Calandria" Vidaurri, Blanquita Rodriguez "Blanca Rosa", Beatriz "La Paloma del Norte" Llamas, and Anita Janet Cortez "La Perla Tapatia" Through their stories and music the audience learns how these women began their careers in a male dominate industry to become successful singer/performers nationally and internationally. As well as their personal tragedies that lead to retirement and then to their present day musical resurgence.
