A very special record has arrived. Released in 1979 on Discos Alebrije, a label known for its strongly local and regional productions, this album brings together Mexican singer-songwriter Felix Trejo Rendon and guitarist/composer Susano Trejo Garcia. The record documents the traditional trova/corrido music of Morelos, Mexico — a lineage of popular song also known as trova suriana, passed down mainly through the Morelos region. Closely tied to memories of the Mexican Revolution and the Zapatista movement, the music carries a plainspoken yet deeply narrative quality. Performed simply with unadorned voice and guitar, the album quietly reveals the depth and resonance of Mexican folk music. Highly recommended for listeners interested in Folkways-style field recordings and traditional music from Latin America. A truly wonderful discovery.
