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.
