"The musical work of the Mexican composer Silvestre Revueltas (1899-1940) is usually classified within the nationalist musical trend. Certainly, his music is partly permeated with an essence that we might call regional or local. However, his work escapes the paradigm of an exclusive identity that often incurs genocidal actions. Revueltas creates a sonority in which the characteristic of village music is combined with the strength of many belongings and, in a particular way, with the process of autopoietic imagination, mysterious point where art and life touch and communicate themselves."
