The Santa Fé Fiesta Song

Contributed by

Santa Fé Fiesta Song - Spanish


Music by Billy Palau, Spanish Lyrics by Johnny Valdes, Jr.


Santa Fe, tus fiestas de septiembre
Se celebran en la capital
Con Zozobra quemando las penas
Ya las fiestas van a comenzar
Tus mujeres llenas de alegria
Pregonando van su nuevo amor
A a luz de grandes luminarias
Van cantando con placer esta cancion

Si Señor, como no, vamonos al vacilon
A bailar y gozar de esta linda poblacion

Manuela Rivera ca. 1920

This is my grandmother.  The picture seems to be taken by a professional photographer.  Does anyone recognize the name of the photographer.  The picture would have been taken in Santa Fe around 1920.

Ed Romero and I were discussing the Chili Line recently.  It turns out we each had a grandfather who worked on it.  Are there any other memories about it?  Very little physical evidence and not many photos remain.
