Cipriano Frederico Vigil is the most important performer of
traditional Nuevomexicano folk music in the late twentieth and
early twenty-first centuries. This bilingual panoramic book
presents the songs that are his life's work, spanning half a
century of listening, playing, composing, and singing ritual,
social, and dance music.
New Mexican Folk Music includes much traditional material that
has never been seen before or studied by scholars or students.
Renowned as a composer, Vigil works in traditional genres such as
the romance, the decima, the cuando, and corrido. Like the Mexican
group Los Folkloristas with which he apprenticed in the late 1970s,
his goal has been to research and master local styles, to introduce
new listeners to traditional music, and to build on tradition by
creating new compositions that address contemporary social
themes.
An audio CD accompanies this comprehensive study on the work and
music of Cipriano Frederico Vigil."
