New Mexico string band Lone Piñon recorded the stirring, infectious Hot Carne Seca in rural Eunice, Louisiana with GRAMMY-winner Joel Savoy (Steve Earle, John Fogerty, Linda Ronstadt, T Bone Burnett, HBO's Tremé) producing. With fiddles, upright bass, guitars, accordions, vihuela, and bilingual vocals, they play a wide spectrum of New Mexican traditional music. The album sees more of a vocal focus than past albums and mixing recent traditions with songs with deep roots.Lone Piñon has performed at the Kennedy Center, Lincoln Center, Library of Congress, Blackpot Festival, and the inauguration of New Mexico Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham. The band have been honored with the Parsons Award from the American Folklife Center. The 2019 documentary film "En Donde los Bailadores se Entregan los Corazones" focuses on the band. Hot Carne Seca's track listing reflects the complexity of New Mexico's interconnected musical cultures, and has included western swing, conjunto, New Mexican Spanish and Mexican ranchera, Central Mexican son regional, country, onda chicana, etc. Around the core New Mexican polkas, cunas, inditas, valses, and chotes learned from elders.
