Fandangos are an intercultural tradition of intertwined music, lyric, and dance that spread to the most remote
corners of the colonies of Spain by the year 1700. Over the next three centuries, they evolved into venues of
resistance, empowerment, and liberation. Fandangos are also celebrations for special occasions and saints’ day
feasts. In colonial New Spain, all social sectors participated, from village fiestas to royal courts. Baroque and
Classical Spanish composers like Santiago de Murcia reintroduced these Mexican musical traditions back to Spain.
The first nineteenth century American visitors to California and New Mexico danced in and wrote about
fandangos with great enthusiasm.
