Frank Wallace’s skill at performing self-accompanied songs is unusual and unsurpassed in the classical world. The Spanish repertoire he presents on this recording ranges from earthy to suave and sophisticated…one of the best vihuelists working today…Wallace also sings…no mean feat when one considers the polyphonic nature of the vihuela accompaniments…His renditions of fantasías by Narváez, other instrumental works, and song accompaniments are exemplary, bringing the kind of polish to the music that must have been prized in the Spanish noble houses.

The huapango, musical genre most represented in this recording, can be considered as the major cultural axis linking together the different parts of the Huasteca; a region with a strong musical identity, where the descendants of the ancient Teenek (whose language is related to the Maya) coexist with the majority Métis, a large population of Nahua and the Otomi, Pame, Tepehua and Totonaque peoples.
