Editorial Reviews
Product Description
Sacred Hymns, serenades, narrative ballads, and lyric folk songs give a glimpse of the diverse and captivating cultural landscape of Hispanic New Mexico. These centuries old-traditions have helped sustain the Hispanic community's ethnic identity, but until recently they have received little attention outside the Southwest. Spanish lyrics have English translations. 26 tracks, 73 minutes.

"The beauty of the collection lies not only in the romantic poetry and dramatic tension that distinguish many of the ballads, but also in the ritual dances, choral arrangements, and ceremonial serenades that colorfully and often robustly punctuate the anthology." -Washington Post

Los himnos sagrados, las serenatas, las baladas narrativas y las canciones líricas presentes en esta colección permiten darse una idea de la diversidad del cautivante paisaje cultural del Nuevo México hispánico. Estas tradiciones, que se remontan siglos en el pasado, han contribuido a sostener la identidad étnica de la comunidad hispana, pero solo hasta hace poco han recibido alguna atención fuera del sur este americano. Letras de las canciones en español con traducciones al inglés, 26 cortes, 73 minutos.

4 out of 5 stars A CD for VERY interested listeners.......2000-06-10

This is an excellent collection of a minor genre. Some of the songs, such as Amar es Entregarse and Mananitas Tapitas, are standards, but most of the recordigs are very specific to New Mexico. Madre de Dolores, for example, is a classic penitente song that plays more as a chant. Los Comanchitos is a very catchy tune, but has a grim history. The song is sung in the voices of "captivos," children taken during Comanche raids against Spanish settlements. All of the songs on CD are typical of field recordings by local performers, not by polished musicians. This is especially obvious once we leave the choir-based religious tunes and get into the more folkloric music. This CD saves an important and often overlooked aspect of American history. I doubt, however, that most listeners would find much of it musically pleasant.
