​Canciones del Pasado : Spanish Folk Songs of the San Luis Valley

Ruth Marie Colville

The Canciones del Pasado are a collection of songs that were curated in the 1960s by Del Norte school teacher Ruth Marie Colville. Colville first became exposed to these songs while on her ranch in Del Norte, and decided to preserve them as a record of the Valley. The songs combine Spanish, Indian, and popular music influences and reflect the heritage and traditions of the Spanish speakers in the San Luis Valley.  Find out more about this unique collection by reading an excerpt from Ruth Marie Colville's book Canciones del Pasado.
