Pugh, a Chicago native now living in the Santa Ynez Valley, was tipped off to these guys by members of a Norte\u00f1o band he met in Lompoc, who alerted him that they spoke neither English nor Spanish. But with a Mixtec translator, he found them \u2014 guitarist Juan Hernandez, violinist Alberto L\u00f3pez and bassist Jacobo Martinez \u2014 and recorded them in a Buellton studio.<\/p>\n<p>The music is raw, expressive, evocative of both life in Mexico and Central California. It\u2019s a valuable document, sure. But more important, it\u2019s a great listen \u2014 just like the best Lomax and Strachwitz recordings. The Little Village slogan is \u201cPebbles on the Beach, Sounds from the Margins.\u201d The other initial releases are from cowboy balladeer Dave Ellis, soul man Wee Willie Walker and boogie blues guitarist Ron Thompson, just the first round of Pugh\u2019s marginal beachcombing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With us all having recording studios in our pockets and everything we capture put on YouTube within minutes, the notion of an Alan Lomax or Arhoolie Records\u2019 Chris Strachwitz intrepidly making field recordings to preserve cultural music expressions, seems anachronistic if not obsolete. &#8220;The Three Friends from Where the Clouds Descend&#8221;
