Again this year, I've had the pleasure and honor to collaborate with radio producer Paul Ingles on a public radio and online documentary. (Our previous project together was Jazz of Enchantment). This project tells the story of one of the most long-lived and influential traditional New Mexican Hispanic musical groups in the state, Los Reyes de Albuquerque y La Familia Martinez.
Tune in this coming week to KUNM (89.9) at 7:50 am and 5:50 pm from Monday 11/30 through Thursday, 12/3 and Sunday, 12/6 at 11 am to hear the seven-part radio series about the rich life and distinctly New Mexican music of Los Reyes de Albuquerque.
Also, I invite you to a special concert and event at the Outpost Performance Space this coming Saturday, December 5th at 7:30 pm. There will be a screening of a 22-minute multimedia piece showcasing photos and video from the documentary, a Q & A with Roberto Martinez, founder of Los Reyes de Albuquerque and Enrique Lamadrid, the humanities scholar from the project, and of course, music by Los Reyes. For more information on the Outpost Event visit: www.outpostspace.org/node/705
If you miss these events, the entire project will be archived online at: www.losreyesstory.org
The complete radio series and multimedia piece will be posted the week of December 7th.
The documentary was supported by a grant from the New Mexico Humanities Council.
