Hispanic Fiestas Of Yesteryear—From Food And Fun To Fisticuffs
–
Nasario Garcia – NMHC – 2:00
Life in rural New Mexico
for the farmer/rancher during the first decades of the 20th century was difficult,
but for him and his family it wasn’t “all work and no play.” Throughout the year
daily chores were put aside and fiestas reigned supreme. From the elderly to the
very young, a joyous mood prevailed among villagers. Eating, playing practical jokes
and games, dancing, drinking, and even fighting were standard during the day and
night of the fiesta. This lecture based on personal experiences, old-timers’ own
words, and tape-recorded music of years gone by, will take you back in time and
space. Funded by New Mexico Endowment for the Humanities.
