About - Song of Pueblo

Since 2008, Song of Pueblo has been a multi-media performance with historic photographs, paintings and video reenactments projected behind the musicians. Together with the narrations, lyrics and exquisite music, audiences of all ages are deeply moved by this memorable show.

This collection of original songs creates an anthology of music, each song is a story of epic historical events for example: The battle between Spanish General Juan Batista de Anza and the Comanche Chief Cuerno Verde, in the 1700s

The founding of the steel mill, 1800s
The great flood of 1921,
The tidal wave of immigration,
The Ludlow Massacre, 1914
The creation of the patchwork of ethnic neighborhoods that comprise Pueblo.
