Revueltas

Fishko Files | May 18, 2010

A hundred years after the start of the Revolution in Mexico, people are finally paying attention to a Mexican composer who mixed his music with his political convictions. As WNYC’s Sara Fishko tells us in this edition of the Fishko Files, the results were dramatic.

For more on Revueltas and others, tune to WQXR’s q2live.org on Tuesday, May 25th for a celebration of the past century of Mexican classical music, hosted by conductor Alondra de la Parra.
