Description:
Los Reyes de Albuquerque (The Kings of Albuquerque) was established by Roberto Martinez in 1962 and is renowned for their expertise in the performance of Mexican and Mexican-American music, especially their development of the New Mexican style corrido (narrative folk ballad). Two of the most famous corridos composed by Roberto -a 2002 Corridista Hall of Fame inductee -are tracks 1 and 7, "El Corrido de Daniel Fernandez" and "El Corrido de Rojo Arriba," inspired by heroic efforts of a local soldier who fought in Vietnam and the Tierra Amarilla incident, an attempted Hispanic resistance to the loss of their historic land grants.
