Question
Elements of this musical genre were used in the 2010 opera To Cross the Face of the Moon. This genre’s ensembles often perform a song in which the title creature “can no longer walk, because she lacks her two hind legs.” This genre traditionally uses a deep-bodied bass acoustic guitar with six strings. Two trumpets and up to eight violins are often included in bands for this genre, as well as the high-pitched five-stringed vihuela (“vee-WAY-lah”) and the larger guitarrón (“gee-tar-OWN”). “La Cucaracha” is a song in this musical genre, which is closely associated with the state of Jalisco (“HA-lees-koh”) and often performed wearing embroidered jackets and sombreros. For 10 points, name the broad genre of Mexican folk music. ■END■
