'''New Mexico music''' is an American folk [[genre]] of music which originated in the U.S. State of [[New Mexico]].<ref>[http://newmexico.heavensentgaming.com/lexicon/new-mexico-music/ New Mexico music] on the [[New Mexico Cultural Encyclopedia, Lexicon, and News]]</ref> It is typified by the heavy use of [[guitar]]s, [[trumpet]]s, [[steel guitar]]s, [[accordian]]s, and [[violin]]s, like its root styles of traditional New Mexico folk music, classic [[Rock music]], and [[Country music|Country-Western music]], it also has a steady rhythm section like that of Native American music, and lyrics typically in [[New Mexican Spanish]] and sometimes [[New Mexican English]]. Traditional New Mexico folk music has existed since before the 16th century, the first songs in the genre were recorded by [[Smithsonian]] Folkways in the 1940s and 50s, and in the mid-1950s Norman Petty's studio in Clovis recorded New Mexico music by [[Al Hurricane]], [[Tiny Morrie]], [[Baby Gaby]], [[Roberto Griego]], and the country and rock musicians Hank Williams Jr. and Buddy Holly. And, since the late-1960's, [[Albuquerque]] has been prominent in producing New Mexico music performers, which was described as "the Chicano Nashville" in the 1980s. However, other cities such as [[Santa Fe]], [[Farmington]], and [[Las Cruces]] have also played important roles in its progression. It has been most successful in New Mexico and Southern [[Colorado]], as well as throughout the American Southwest, West [[Texas]], and Northern [[Mexico]].
