Description:
Dubbed 'The Mexican Falla', Silvestre Revueltas lived hard and died young in poverty. His music was revolutionary, embracing the 'vulgarity' of the people and rejecting colonialist cultural models. His unfinished ballet La Coronela follows a scenario.

This recording captures the rhythmic intensity and colorful orchestration that define Revueltas? music, offering listeners an immersive journey into Mexican musical modernism. The album also includes other significant works by Revueltas, showcasing his unique blend of indigenous motifs with avant-garde techniques.
