Abstract

In the state of Chihuahua there are musical expressions that achieve identification with their society and culture. Such is the case of the musical style Nonoava, which for more than one hundred years emerged in the Sierra of Chihuahua, and which is still in force. The purpose of this work is to rescue and promote the musical identity mountain region of Nonoava. The musical identity of this town will be revalued through a historical-cultural research work, through the reflection of the regional literature review and interviews with renowned Chihuahuan historians and musicians. It’s assumed that it is in the town of Nonoava, Chihuahua, where crystallization of the musical aesthetics formed in the Mexican Revolution is achieved. However, the diffusion of Nonoava's music has been scarce. This first approach aims to find key pieces of this music.
