Facebook Live Concert: Día de los Muertos Celebration

November 1, 2020
7:00 PM - 8:00 PM

Día de los Muertos Online Celebration - Música Buena: Celebrating Music in New Mexico 

Join us on our Facebook Page for this all-ages premiere https://www.facebook.com/InternationalFolkArt/

Carol Vigil and Leila Flores-Dueñas, are Las Flores del Valle of Albuquerque, a New Mexico women’s dueto whose smooth harmonies are reminiscent of the many hermanas duos that became famous in the 1960s and helped to form lasting harmony structures of today’s US/Mexico Borderlands music. 

Joined by multi-talented musician and cultural anthropologist, David F. Garcia, Las Flores del Valle aim to preserve and share the nuances of the many musical genres that are representative of their family histories.

Las Flores del Valle have been sharing their art at venues that range from the Gene Autry theater in Los Angeles, Universidad Pedagógica Nacional de México to the National Hispanic Cultural Center in Albuquerque where they have shared their forte of preserving cultural traditions and a burgeoning Southwest history through the arts.  They can be seen presenting about life along the US/Mexico border on topics related to the role of corridos in Mexican and Southwestern music, soldaderas of the Mexican Revolution, Día de los Muertos and other celebrations, and women’s roles in Borderland music.
