Using this custom Concerto Candelas guitar, Feliciano delivered a wholly original rendition of the national anthem. In the words of our curator John Troutman, Feliciano's performance was "soulful, searching, steeped in blues and seasoned with the percolation of his fingers across a guitar built in the Sunset boulevard shop of a family of immigrants from Torreon, Mexico." Not everyone appreciated Feliciano's new interpretation of the song, but his rendition sent "The Star Spangled Banner" into the pop charts for the first time ever. It also sparked conversations that continue to this day about how the national anthem should be performed. In 2018, Feliciano donated his guitar to the museum, along with many other objects from his decades-long, Grammy-award winning career. He also served as the keynote speaker—and performed "Star Spangled Banner"—for the naturalization ceremony of 19 new U.S. citizens. (Swipe to hear it!). Today is #CitizenshipDay and #ConstitutionDay.
