BOOK / SOUNDS OF MEXICO

MUSIC / CULTURE

Sounds of Mexico is a journey through Mexican music, from pre-Hispanic times to the present day. A tribute to music, to musicians, and to the listeners who daily rejoice in the diversity of sounds that emerge from some speaker or even unexpectedly reach our minds. This book is a collection of texts, photographs, paintings, scores, and songs that tell the story of a country, marked by a constant back and forth between what is local and what is foreign, between the popular and the cultured, whose elements sooner or later, in one way or another, end up merging. In its various genres and manifestations, Mexican music remains linked to its roots, fantasies, and concerns. Brought to the world by the God of the Wind from the House of the Sun, it continues to brighten the lives of humankind, comforting their afflictions, and fostering dialogue with their hearts. Describing this mystery, and its development over the centuries in our country, is the goal of Sonidos de México. Publisher: Sexto Piso
