clnating and varied, according to
Mr.. Esperon.
Sadness Is it's dominant trait, >
he explained. why? Because, like
Russia, the native people OF Mexico
have been a. conquered people. /
can always trace an analogy in our
Astec music to the sad soulful
cadence Of Russia.
A Singing People.
"Mexicans sing as naturally as
they talk. Music is an essential in
their life.
II do not speak Of the people Of
the cities. There, as In all the CIV
ilized world. the music is sophisti-
Gated, cultivated. But it is in the
remote places where few people
have yet searched out the folk
music, that one finds music a part
OF the customs of the people.
Mr.. Esperon is himself of Astec
lineage.
Il am a native Indian" ne said.
But this Indian has no relation to
the type OF the American 1t Is
swarthy, with the deep dark eyes
OF "a race akin to, though not
Spanish. One would say they are
romanticists in spirit.
I'VE have. in this folk music,
what we call 'corrido.' 1t is like
a musical conversation that is car
rted on with improvised little twists
to the music and to the words. The
Mexican Indian delights chiefly in
the subtle things, in delicacy or
wit or musical invention. They
have contests in these 'Corrido' and
it Is always the subtlest things that
win.
Tango Is Mexican.
Rhythm, Of course, is a vital
thing with US, as you may know by
the tango, which did not come from
Spain but is native Astec.
Our instruments, too, reveal
something of type. There is the
Chirimia, or flute, the Teponaxtle
and the Huehuetl, both of which
are drums, which are used by the
natives"
We learned, from Doctor Franklin
Adams of the Pan-American Union
that a song by this composer La
Borrachita" is as popular as any
song in all Mexico. 1t is sung
everywhere.
Mr.. EsDeron's compositions. he
claims, are chiefly done to preserve
the folk music of his land. He
does not aim to create In the
larger mold though his songs ana
his piano transcriptions hold an
attractive place in music.
What his ambition is, we find ful-
filled for US here in our Smithson-
ian Institution. where the North
American Indian music is preserved

ates.
