Cancionero

"Cancionero presents a highly significant publication related to the beautiful and rich musical legacy of New Mexican culture and history, and it is an important contribution to the work of musicologists, historians, folklorists, language and literary scholars, and many other areas of research. Its greatest contribution, however, is the music itself and the role it can play in the lives of musicians, singers, and the general public."

--New Mexico Historical Review

"This is a book of scores that marry traditional New Mexican Spanish folk songs with art and mainstream folk techniques. The compilation brings awareness of a mestizo people and history, part of the fundamental fabric of US identity, a people largely invisible until the last half-century. These Spanish-language songs, shared here with Western art techniques of a fittingly vintage nature, result in a new listening experience."--Brenda M. Romero, coeditor of Dancing across Borders: Danzas y Bailes Mexicanos
