Indian music of the Southwest and Mexico collection, [193-?]-1963.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/182860465

The collection is a valuable representation of the music traditions of various Southwestern American Indian and Mexican tribes. It consists of songs duplicated from commercial records that were, in turn, based on the field recordings collected by several notable folk music historians. The name of the native group is given when known, as is the name of the collector. The songs in this collection from Laura Boulton and Willard Rhodes also appear on commercial albums, which are catalogued and held by the UNM Library. Those from John H. Green and John S. Candelario are not found elsewhere in this Library, and are unique.

4 CDs (ca. 4 hrs., 30 min.) + Accompanying the collection is a guidebook with background information about the Southwestern and Mexican songs collected by Boulton and Rhodes'. It also contains information on the Navajo creation myths and English translations for them.
