Folklorico Alma de Mexico of South San Francisco
performs a medley of five festive
dances accompanied by banda music that are
typical of those found in the native fiestas
of Nayarit and Sinaloa. The lyrics in
the first dance, Vuela Paloma, recall a forlorn
lover longing to fly as a dove in
order to be reunited with his beloved. The second,
El Novilla, describes a brave young bull
learning to fight. The
third piece, Mazatlan, depicts the
beauty and sensuality of the women who live in
the port known as the Pearl of
the Pacific Coast. El Sinaloense,
the fourth in the suite, expresses the pride and joy
of the people of Sinaloa,
while the final piece, El
Toro Mambo,
is typical of a popular Carnival of Mazatlan dance which focuses
on the
animated motions of a brave toro
(bull)
playing in the rodeo. |
