ALABADOS, ALABANZAS, INDITAS and CORRIDOS: Enduring Hispanic Music of New Mexico
ALABADOS, ALABANZAS, INDITAS and CORRIDOS: Enduring Hispanic Music of New Mexico
Please join State Historian Rob Martinez, as he takes a journey through New Mexico’s rich historical past and cultural tapestry with music, presenting song forms that date back centuries.
Penitente alabados, religious alabanzas, culturally mixed Inditas and Mexican Corridos provide context to the state’s complex and exciting history.
The history of Hispano music allows us to better understand the emotional backdrop of those generations of New Mexicans who lived, loved, and dealt with strife in Santa Fe, and New Mexico, through the centuries.
