Fond/Sound: Nuevo Aztlán: Mexican Ambient, Ethno-experimental & New Age Music (1982-1993)

This mix shines a light on a fascinating little-known era of Mexican experimental music. It was a time when Mexican musicians looked towards the influence of Pre-Columbian music and contemporary, burgeoning styles like ambient, new age and electroacoustic minimalism to create a new kind of underground musical style. As ancient as it is forward-thinking, this music tried to bridge the divide between the logic-driven exploration of our silicon-led world and the mythical spiritualism of Nahuatl history.
