Vinyl, LP, Album. INAH – INDIGENOUS MUSIC OF MEXICO. In contemporary Mexico, a great variety of cultural traditions coexist. The groups considered as indigenous maintain much more different repertoires among themselves than they maintain with respect to groups never treated as native. There is no satisfactory criterion in music to define indigenous heritage. This is a consequence of the permanent contact that indigenous groups have maintained with other sectors of the population. Pre-Hispanic music that has ceased to exist, although some of its characteristic elements integrated into different frameworks persist. European music, though the dominant influence, has been modified to varying degrees, either in form or content. Some repertoires seem like fixations from the past, but they play a current and important role in community life and evolve with it.
