Tarascan and Other Music of Mexico

Various Artists

"The songs and dances heard today in Mexico are a complex mixture, with their origins in both indigenous and European music.

"Las canciones y las danzas que se escuchan hoy en México son una compleja combinación, cuyos orígenes se remontan tanto a la música indígena como a la europea.

*Content Advisory: The terminology used in this album’s title and descriptive notes reflects outdated, inaccurate language. The Purépecha peoples, the Indigenous peoples of Michoacán, are incorrectly referred to as “Tarascan.” Purépecha peoples encourage the designation “Purépecha” over the derogatory term “Tarascan,” a designation imposed upon the arrival of the Spaniards during the conquest and colonization of Mexico. Consider consulting the Instituto Nacional de los Pueblos Indígenas for more information.
