In this short film made by Lucia Duncan for the "Musica Buena" exhibit at Santa Fe's Museum of International Folk Art, (which runs through 2021) Lara draws on musical memories that range from Varsovianas performed by her great grandfather Eleuterio Martinez, to Alabados sung at the Penitente Morada in Abiquiu.

FILM: Nasario Remembers the Río Puerco
I was lucky to be invited to collaborate with New Mexico traditional super-group Lone Piñon on the song "Indita del Río Puerco," an original composition by Jordan Wax with lyrics by Shebana Coehlo. The song is based on childhood stories of New Mexico's Río Puerco Valley as told by Nasario García in Coehlo's film "Nasario Remembers the Río Puerco." Our recording of the song is featured at the end of the film, which was aired twice on PBS and screened in theaters throughout the Southwestern United States and in Spain. To learn more about the film, please visit https://www.nasarioremembers.com .
