Presented by Lone Piñon
Lone Piñon is a collective of four expert musicians who travel the country and world performing their collaborative interpretation of the New Mexico musical traditions they have learned from elder culture-bearers. They will take us on a musical journey through the New Mexican musical landscape—through several centuries of bailes, wedding parties, fandangos, and fiestas that have shaped our musical inheritance. In addition to the vibrant performances, they’ll share anecdotes and history from the elders they’ve learned from that bring light to the unique cultural space they’ve inherited from their musical ancestors: a distinctly New Mexican landscape where the edges of cultures, ethnic groups, and civilizations overlap, communicate, and ultimately form a distinct musical voice that has much to say about our past, present, and future as ethnically and culturally diverse New Mexicans.
