Biographical/Historical note
Biographical/Historical note
Roberto MartÃnez founded the record label M.O.R.E (Minority Owned Records Enterprises) in Albuquerque, New Mexico, to document and disseminate the regional Hispanic musical tradition of New Mexico. Under this label, he has recorded albums by Los Reyes de Albuquerque, Lorenzo MartÃnez, Debbie "La Chicanita" and other New Mexican artists. Martinez' musical activism led him to begin composing about political events, including corridos, or ballads, on contemporary topics. Much of the music issued on the M.O.R.E. lable features Mariachi favorites in familiar arrangements of guitarra, requinto, vihuela, guitarron, violin and trompete, as well as the lyrical New Mexican violin style.
