PRESENTATION BY ROSALIA DE ARAGON: LA LLORONA, THE WAILING WOMAN
This famous ghost from Spanish folklore is known throughout
the world for her eerie, spine chilling cries as she searches for her loved ones. Early Spanish settlers knew of her. Her story was
ancient in European mythology, but in New Mexico it is said she lived next door, or an ancestor actually knew her.
La Llorona’s cries
are brought to life with the popular performance and songs of Rosalia de Aragon, a multi-talented native actor. Rosalia is from a
family of accomplished visual and literary artists. Lecture courtesy of the New Mexico Humanities Council. Event held in conjunction
with Día de Muertos celebration. For info: 575-854-3600.
