INDIGENOUS MUSIC OF MEXICO

Grouped under a generic heading, that of indigenous people, a great variety of cultural traditions coexist in contemporary Mexico, which, although they contain some common elements, present equally overwhelming differences. In musical traditions the extremes are perhaps more distant. Groups considered as indigenous maintain repertoires much more different from each other than they maintain with respect to groups never treated as native. There is no satisfactory criterion in music to define indigenous heritage.
