"Nuevas Acequias" review in Albuquerque's Alibi

I was destined to listen to this record. A fantastic collection of traditional music from the heart of The Land of Enchantment, this record details the significance of Lone Piñon’s work in regional folk music as well as cementing the duo as authorities on the diverse form’s current state of performance and accurate reiteration. The CD version of this record includes cover art and a 10-page booklet by artist Sean Wells featuring sketches of New Mexico elders and musicians who influenced the recording, as well as important historical information that will enrich listeners of this essential iteration of la cultura Nueva Mexicana. It’s all here and it’s all clear, from polkas like “La Julia” to rancheras like “Casa de Adobe.” Vamos a bailar, compadres! -August March
