Monthly Matinee
In-Person
Celebrate the history of New Mexico in film! Join us for a screening of two short episodes of ¡Colores! by NM PBS.
Una Lucha Por Mi Pueblo
Corridos are ballads, songs which supplement recorded documents as historical artifacts that describe the popular consciousness at the time in which they were written. This episode features songs of corridistas, Antonio Martinez, Roberto Martinez, and Chuy Martinez. (28 minutes)
Alabados de Nuevo Mexico
The New Mexican alabado is a folk poem/canticle has been used by the Fraternidad Piadosa de Nuestro Padre Jesús Nazareno, more commonly known as the Penitentes, since the colonization of New Mexico. These Spanish hymns were once intimately connected to most communities’ spiritual activities. But, as modern New Mexico culture transforms, the alabados are being lost from the repertoire of New Mexican folklore. In this episode, these ancient ballads are beautifully sung by José Griego y Maestas and accompanied by his son Elias. (25 minutes)
