El Camino Real Center Celebrates A Traditional Christmas
El Camino Real International Heritage Center welcomes the holiday season with a special event Saturday, Dec. 15. The event will include a visit from Santa, ornament-making, pinatas and annual posada procession courtesy of La Asociacion de la Guadalupana from Socorro. The posada will begin at 1 p.m. and pinata-breaking will bring the event to an end at 3 p.m.
The event will also feature a special musical presentation by Dr. Cipriano Vigil at 2 p.m., courtesy of the New Mexico Humanities Council. Vigil will perform traditional and ritual music of New Mexico. A native of Chamisal in the Sangre de Cristo Mountains, Vigil is the living embodiment of "nuevomexicano" ritual music. As a boy, he learned from the previous generations of musicians at "bailes" (dances) and at "entriegas", "matrimonios y difuntos" (christenings, marriages and funerals.) Read more
