Her exhibitions include New World Cuisine: The Histories of Chocolate, Mate y Más, The Red that Colored the World, Flamenco: From Spain to New Mexico, and Música Buena: Hispano Folk Music of New Mexico. Nicolasa Chávez, a fourteenth generation New Mexican, is a historian, curator and performance artist, whose work concentrates on the rich multicultural heritage of New Mexico and the connection between New Mexico and the Spanish speaking world. This celebratory presentation combines history, storytelling, and music to bring Villancicos Flamencos to New Mexico and demonstrate their relationship to our local dramatic reenactments of Las Posadas, Los Pastores and Los Reyes Magos. The Gitanos of Southern Spain have passed down the Flamenco versions of these songs for generations, often imbuing the characters with a local twist. Villancicos often represent the journey of José y María (Joseph and Mary) and Los Reyes Magos (The Three Kings) or they represent the local villagers preparing for the wedding of José y María or searching for the perfect gift for the Christ child. Please join Chávez as she traces the history of Villancicos (Spanish holiday songs) via the lyrics and music of Medieval Spain to the present. We are delighted to once again hold a performance and salon at San Miguel with Deputy State Historian Nicolasa Chávez. In 2021, we hosted a performance with State Historian Robert Martinez at the historic San Miguel Chapel, located in the heart of Barrio de Analco. The live performance is scheduled for Thursday, Decemat 6:00pm at San Miguel Chapel. Historic Santa Fe Foundation presents the 2022 Holiday Fundraising Salon El Zaguán with Nicolasa Chávez and Luis Campos Villancicos Flamencos: Celebrating the Holidays in Spain. ![]()
