Biography
Lone Piñon is a New Mexican string band, or “orquesta típica”, whose music celebrates the integrity of their region’s cultural roots. With fiddles, upright bass, accordions, vihuela, mandolin, guitars, jarana huasteca, and vocals in Spanish, English, Nahuatl, and P’urepecha, they play a wide spectrum of the traditional music that is at home in New Mexico. The group was founded by Noah Martinez and Jordan Wax in 2013 and now also includes Tanya Nuñez.
In August 2018 they were invited by the Library of Congress and the American Folklife Center to Washington DC, where they recorded a concert and an oral history of their work with New Mexican and Mexican musical traditions. In 2019 they were honored to teach and perform Northern New Mexico fiddle and dance alongside traditional masters from across North America and Europe at Centrum’s Festival of American Fiddle Tunes in Port Townsend, WA. An award-winning documentary about their work with traditional music, “En Donde los Bailadores se Entregan los Corazones,” has premiered at select screenings in the US and is planned for film festivals in the US and Mexico starting in late 2019. The band recently received the Parsons Award from the American Folklife Center, which will bring them back to the Library of Congress in Washington DC in 2020 to study their collection of field recordings of Northern New Mexican musicians.
