Frank McCulloch y sus Amigos (Frank McCulloch and Friends) have been playing together most Sundays at Java Joe's Downtown coffee shop in Albuquerque, New Mexico for the past ten years or so. Mostly Mexican or New Mexican in origin, their music is comprised of songs that many of us in the southwest grew up listening to or singing. In addition to performing regularly at Java Joe's Coffee Shop, the group also plays for occasional art openings, benefits, and receptions around Albuquerque. The group consists of Frank McCulloch (vocals and guitar), Melody Mock (violin), Luis Campos (guitar), and various other friends who join them on Sundays at Java Joe's. See the group featured on the KNME PBS TV program: The Musical Adventures of John Donald Robb in New Mexico
Roaming the countryside of the Southwest during the 1940s and 50s, John Donald Robb recorded and transcribed over 3,000 Hispano folk songs, the largest collection of its time. Watch the half-hour documentary celebrating the life of this adventurous musician. |
