Alabados De Nuevo Mexico | New Mexico PBS

The New Mexican alabado is a folk poem/canticle has been used by the Fraternidad Piadosa de Nuestro Padre Jesús Nazareno, more commonly known as the Penitentes, since the colonization of New Mexico. These Spanish hymns were once intimately connected to most communities spiritual activities. But, as modern New Mexico culture transforms, the alabados are being lost from the repertoire of New Mexican folklore. Beautifully sung by José Griego y Maestas and accompanied by his son Elias, these ancient ballads are stunningly illustrated with modern day images of northern New Mexico to create a profoundly interactive experience.
