 Antioco
Garibay y su conjunto de Arpa Grande -
La Polvadera
 In
the wild Mexican west, the local music is played on big harps,
counter-rhythms beaten out by strong hands on the sound box while
the harpist plays rhythm and melody on the thick coloured nylon
strings.Violin
and guitar accompany the haunting falsetto vocals and all this
combines to produce a traditional country music with an emotional
intensity that is almost frightening.
Musicians who play this style still talk about a great harpist
who died in 1976, one year after Eduardo Llerenas made the only
existing professional recoding of his music.
His name, Antioco Garibay. Llerenas, co-founder of Corason decided
to produce this recording, which had been gathering dust in his
personal collection, after recent visit to the region led him
to realize that this style of playing simply no longer exists.
It is a wild and profoundly moving recording of musicians who
inherited the music they play from one generation to another.
An antidote to the more bland productions within the category
of world music.
