Cora Indian Festive Music / Va Cora Indian Festive Music / Va CD

In remote regions, still difficult to access, in the Sierra Madre Occidental Mountains of western Mexico, there still remain pockets of Indians who have not yet adopted the predominant Mestizo culture of Mexico, Indians, who by virtue of their remoteness, have kept their own tribal identities, cultures, and languages. One such tribe is the Cora, living in the mountains of the northwestern part of the state of Nayarit, Mexico... E. Richard Sorenson and Philip R. Lenna.
