Apart from - or perhaps despite - northern New Mexico's strong relationship
to the commercial world music genre, the area can claim a deeper, unique heritage
all its own, with Norteño and other area musical forms maintaining
a proud presence. Several key figures in Native American music are based here,
and the area is a major American hotbed for all shades of flamenco. Not surprisingly,
mariachi and modern Latin sounds are prevalent as well.
What may be a surprise is that music from across the globe can be found here
- even a marimba ensemble or two!
