Angel Mio – Santiago Jimenez Jr with Los Cenzontles 2001
The enormously successful Cuatro Maestros Touring Festival was a music and dance performance festival by 4 celebrated elder master folk artists representing their respective Mexican and Mexican-American regional traditions accompanied by members of their own groups as well as youth group Los Cenzontles. The Cuatro Maestros Touring Festival created quite a stir in seven California cities including the California Plaza, Los Angeles, presented by Grand Performances; Cal State University Sacramento; Arte Americas, Fresno; Mexican Heritage Plaza, San Jose; Cal State University Monterey Bay; the City of San Fernando; the Julia Morgan Theater, Berkeley.
The traditions represented, rural in their origins, have made a tremendous contribution to the richness of Mexican music. This Touring Festival is a unique opportunity to learn personally about these traditions and the cultures from which they arose as well as celebrate their passing to new generations of artists. Each of these celebrated four regional elder masters learned his tradition in a family setting and is now passing them on to future generations.
The artists presented were: Santiago Jimenez Jr. and his Tex-Mex conjunto, Julian Gonzalez with traditional mariachi; Atilano Lopez and Alma Purepecha, and Andres Vega Delfin and Mono Blanco with the Son Jarocho.

Asante traditional music, dance (adowa) and funeral
Nana Yaw Opoku Mensah was once a flutist in the courts of the Asantehenes Nana Prempeh I & Nana Prempeh II and possibly Nana Opoku Ware II early in his reign. He was 102 in this video and I was told that he was still in good health in 2006. Nana didn’t know his birthdate but he told me that he was born a few months before the Yaa Asantewaa War of 1900.
He is playing the ‘odurugya’ which is the traditional cane flute of the Akan. The song he’s playing i believe is one in the tradition called ‘Sikabewuepere’(money’s death pangs’ which was popularized during the 1920’s economic boom in Asante & the Gold Coast Colony.
The flute is often used in songs of lamenting or grief. This piece is more of a recitation than a song really, for the odurugya is a ‘talking’ instrument, which means that the Akan of antiquity developed a system of encoding their language into the range of sounds/tones the odurugya makes. One must be immeresed in the ‘deep structures’ of Akan society in order to learn the method of ‘decoding’ the flute language.
Mixed with this video is footage from the funeral of the Bantamahene Baffour Awuah V, an event that was both solemn and celebratory.
