-~. L SONES OF MEXICO TIMOTHY F. HARDING is at present a student at Harvard College, majoring in Latin American history.

He made three trips to Mexico, and in 1952, studied at the summer school of the University of Mexico.

Having learned how to play the guitar, he found it helpful in collecting the recordings in this album when he returned to Mexico the following summer.

INrRODUCrrON

In Mex1co, folk music ie more than a tradition, it 1e a part of everyday l1v1ng. Trnining for perfec­tion, einging folk aongs and expecting to earn a liv­ing thereby, creating an enthueiastic following -acceptance in any community throughout the land - all part of the tradition of professional singing in lands where singing is considered ti nntional "utHity" - has all along been native, traditional, welcome. On the streets, in boa~and along its waterways, at car­nivale and fairs, the profeeeional folk singer, or simply singer, belongs, 1s accepted, and hailed.

To be able to choose, Judge, and acclaim out­standing professional skill, the Mexican-1n-the-street muet himself know the songe, and not only does he uaually sing, but he plays an instrument as well. Wbat the Mexican leaves or entrusts to his profession­al favorite ie the task of interpreting hie own fav­orite eonge with the greates~ eensitivity and fineese.

In the village equare, in bar s and cafes, at private social functions, in the multiple celebra­tions of life and death, and 1n lovemaking, the pro­fesaionale are worthy of their hire. Requests at popular gathering place s are paid foro For other

songs, the hat is passed not with the gesture of shame, but with the gesture of proud expectancy. 8ingers always have with them their musical instru­ments: various types of guitars such as the reguinto or jartlna, harps and fiddles.

Each region in Mexico enJoys its own sub-culture of folksong and folklore. Within each region, each town has its own song, usually cloee to the regional type. 8tHl, these regional songs gain national popularity, so that today the huapanso echoes from Vera Cruz to GuadalaJara, and the eon from Michoacan to Tamaulipas. On their Journeys,~eee songe may changa, thoae of a topical kind, ahed their local allusions rendily for allusiona to their new and changing locales. 80 it ia that the GuanaJuato ver­sion of BALAJU, as heard in this album, is qu1te dif­ferent from the vere10n y011 m1ght hear from a harp trio in Vera Cruz, orig1nal home of th1s songo
