Trajectory of the music in Mexico


La rich musical history of our country or, what is the same thing, the contribution that has made the musical talent to the wealth of works that you/they constitute the sound patrimony of West, is so unknown not only in the exterior but, what is more serious, even in the own Mexico that well could consider it like a secret history of which you/they are to the point hardly some initiate. This phenomenon has ended up having such I root and extension that has given cause to the myth of the nonexistence of the Mexican music of concert, and although the same one is not in last term another thing that a comfortable way to justify the own ignorance in this respect and to cohabit with her without restlessness, it has also driven to that even personos in general informed they believe that our concert music begins, at most, presently century.

And if one wants to understand that fully they make the composers of the country, it is necessary to know them.
