A weekend of New Mexico fiestas, music, dancing food and family! Raices host ,Cynthia Gomez, extends an invitation to make a connection through music, Saturday July 5 2-5 pm. 89.9 or stream at KUNM.org. I begin the program with home grown "seasoned" NM musicians, performing on the Las Vegas (NM) Fiesta stages going on this weekend, to national Tex/Chicana/o/x flavor. Next the musical expression of Romani people exiled from India to Andalucia, eventually adopted into New Mexico culture. Explore flamenco, generated from life's song stories, instruments and dance expressions, to the modernization of mainstream flamenco interpretations. We then segue to a bit of latina/o/x jazz, Las Cafeteras, Ozomatli and more. I invite you to allow music to enhance your life. Also, listen at your leisure at the 2 week archive, KUNM.org/archive.
