In 1974, Rubén Cobos donated an amazing sound archive to Colorado College, and as of this week, after many years of effort from many people and institutions, the music is all online in digitalCC! So, if you’d like to hear “El tecolote,” a song about an owl who cannot attend a dance because she has no rouge, and cannot attend mass because she has no shirt, listen to the 12th recording here. Or perhaps you’re interested in “Don Gato,” in which Mr. Cat falls off a roof? Well, the Cobos Collection has six different versions you can compare.
