In 2005, Colorado College received a grant to digitize the music recordings in the Rubén Cobos Collection of Spanish New Mexican Folklore. These pieces were recorded in New Mexico between 1944 and 1974 and are cataloged in Vicki Levine's book Music in the Cobos Collection (Colorado College: Hulbert Center Press, 1999).

We want to make these recordings available to everyone via the Internet, free of charge. To do that, we need permission from the performers listed below. We also need permission from the interviewers, whose names are unknown to us. If your family participated, please contact us. Thank you!
