Scope and Content
From the Collection:
The collection is a representation of the music traditions of various Southwestern American Indian and Mexican tribes. It consists of songs duplicated from commercial records that were, in turn, based on the field recordings collected by several notable folk music historians. The name of the native group is given when known, as is the name of the collector. The songs in this collection from Laura Boulton and Willard Rhodes also appear on commercial albums, which are catalogued and held by the UNM Library. Those from John H. Green and John S. Candelario are not found elsewhere in this Library, and are unique.
Various native languages are used in these recordings. There are songs from the Yaqui, Yuma, Chichimeca, Maya, Tarascan, Otomi, Zapotec and Ticul Indians. Others are songs of the Pima, Papago, Mohave and Hopi. In addition, there are songs from Taos Pueblo, Zuni Pueblo, San Ildefonso Pueblo and Santa Ana Pueblo, and from the Navajo, Apache and Mescalero Apache peoples. Some of the songs are in Spanish.
