    56 Published in Enduring Legacies, University of Colorado Press, 2010 Not for distribution without permission of Publisher and Author © Copyright 2010 Lorenzo A. Trujillo Music of the Rio Grande of Colorado and New Mexico Lorenzo A. Trujillo University of Colorado, Boulder A Journey in Time: Past – Present – Future Traditional Río Grande Chicano/Hispanoi music and dance in Colorado and New Mexico are influenced from many cultures of the world. Indigenous peoples, European settlers, and recent Mexican and Latino immigrants have all created a unique expression in music and dance among the Río Grande peoples. This article provides an insight into the many influences in the traditions, old and new, that we hear and see. More importantly, it presents common themes of culture transmission through many generations. The music and dance of Hispano populations of Colorado and New Mexico have developed over the last 600 plus years. The evolution begins and moves through various hallmark periods in time: the medieval period (1100 – 1400), the conquest of Mexico (1500 – 1600), the early explorations into New Mexico and Colorado (1700- 1800), the early 1900’s into the last half of the 1900’s, to today. Medieval Period – Renaissance 57 Spain is a county of many influences: Celt-Iberians, Iberians, Greeks, Phoenicians, Carthaginians, Romans, Jews, Visigoths, Moors and Arabs.ii From 711 until 1492, Spain was under the tremendous influence of the Moors and Arabs. Moorish and Arabic influences are very evident today in the architecture, music, dance and general culture of Spain as it has evolved into Hispano-America. Ceramic tiles, the flair for clicking the heels in a flamenco type rhythm, the syncopation of beats, and the sense of honor, pride, and the importance of the caballoiii, all bring to life the influence of the Moors and Arabs.
