Chuy Martinez will present “An American Dialogue: Latin American Ballads, Cumbia, and Nueva Canción,” a program sponsored by the New Mexico Humanities Council. For decades, a rich conversation has been exchanging musical ideas between the Americas: the ballad, from Spain and Mexico; the cumbia, of Caribbean African/Indian roots; and nueva canción (new song), social struggle music influenced by U.S. labor and protest songs. Musician and folklorist Chuy Martinez puts the songs and rhythms in historical context. This event is free thanks to the Friends of the Library! Seating is limited and will be on a first-come, first-seated basis. Doors will open at 5:30pm, 30 minutes before performance time.
