Corridos de Río Arriba (Repeat)

TUESDAY, JANUARY 13

PROGRAM #11017 11:00 AM PT 

Corridos de Río Arriba (Repeat). 

On January 7, Roberto Mondragón—former lieutenant governor of New Mexico, educator, folk musician and cultural leader in the Latino community—passed away. In his memory, we revisit this program originally broadcast in 2020, in which Mondragón and distinguished artists explore the corrido tradition of the Upper Rio Grande region. Through these songs, generations have chronicled tragedies, local feats, and social struggles. Folklorists examine emblematic corridos, historic corridistas, and the musical roots—such as the Inditas—that gave rise to the New Mexican corrido. This program originally aired on January 29, 2020.

Guest: Roberto Mondragón (+), Master Musician, Educator, Former State Legislator, and Former Lieutenant Governor, Santa Fe, NM.
