Thursday morning: at Tularosa Intermediate School and through the desert

-

On stage of the gym and auditorium of Tularosa Intermediate School.

One of the most grateful and enriching experiences we had during the trip was at the Tularosa Intermediate School. The kids, from 10 to 12 years old, behaved very well, were very interested in our music, and actively participated throughout our program.


They watched with interest, and accompanied us to the rhythm of the Christmas carols.

When we finished singing, they approached us to see and play our instruments.

More than one was surprised to see the arrabel, all made of bones.

For many of them, it was the first time they saw a zambomba... and it's not so easy to play it!

Then, we left for the south, passing Alamogordo, to enter White Sands Natural Monument, a very peculiar dune system, with surreal landscapes, as if we were going through the snow.


Just seeing this landscape, anyone would think that it is snow...

...and the truth is that this fine gypsum sand also serves to sled!

The team of sportive musicians poses for posterity.


The panoramic is spectacular, with the sea of dunes as background.

An interesting experience this one of singing carols in the desert.

But the day was not over yet. We still had to find where to eat quickly and go buzzing for the afternoon activities, which were already waiting for us.


So we ordered a fast food menu for everyone, and off to the road!

How to make a zambomba

Due to the limit set by the air companies for luggage size, it was obvious that we would not be allowed to carry the larger zambombas you can see in some of our photos. So, Valentín offered to construct some not-so-large ones to carry to New Mexico. As usual, his garage serves as workshop to make the zambombas. We have been documenting the process to share it here with those who may want to try and do it themselves in New Mexico. Once we are there, Valentín will respond questions and provide tips to whoever requests his help and experience. The main structure is that of a barrel. The wood strips need to be very carefully arranged. As shown in the pictures, we need a wooden barrel, hollow on both sides. One of the sides will be covered with a goat's skin, previously moistened, shaved ands very thoroughly cleaned. Choosing the proper skin is crucial for a good result. Stapling the band that holds the skin to the barrel. Once the skin is soft and ready, a

Are we professional musicians?

One of the characteristics of traditional rondas is that only very rarely members will be true professional musicians. Normally, a ronda is just made up of friends getting together to enjoy music during their free time, when their family or professional tasks allow for it. Each person in a traditional ronda carries behind a different professional life. This entry to the blog will give you a general overview of our professions, in an attempt to demonstrate that being musicians, in our case, is not a career in itself, but a mere result from dedication to two relevant aspects in our free time: (1) preserve cultural traditions (i.e., our intangible heritage), and (2) enjoy good moments with our family and friends. Yep, it is as simple as that! So, as you will see, just amongst the 16 of us going to New Mexico, and out from the almost 40 persons informally gathering for the Ronda Los Carrozas every year for Christmas at Cifuentes, we have a really wide variety of professional bac
