BOOK / SOUNDS OF MEXICO

MUSIC / CULTURE

Sounds of Mexico is a journey through Mexican music, from pre-Hispanic times to the present day. It is a tribute to music, to musicians, and to the listeners who daily rejoice in the diverse sounds that emerge from speakers or even unexpectedly enter our minds. This book is a collection of texts, photographs, paintings, musical scores, and songs that tell the story of a country marked by a constant interplay between the familiar and the foreign, between the popular and the sophisticated, whose elements, sooner or later, in one way or another, end up merging. Through its various genres and manifestations, Mexican music remains linked to its roots, fantasies, and concerns. Brought into the world by the god of Wind from the house of the Sun, it continues to brighten human life, console its sorrows, and foster dialogue within its hearts. To account for this mystery, for its development throughout the centuries in our country, is the objective of Sounds of Mexico. Publisher: Sexto Piso
