Note

The ballet premiered at the Teatro del Pueblo in Tuxtla Gutiérrez, Chiapas, in 1951, and was restaged at the Palacio de Bellas Artes in Mexico City in 1952. Tomás Montero Torres made photographs of the performers at the latter venue, and an album of the score performed by the National Symphonic Orchestra under the director of the composer Luis Sandi was released soon after (RCA MRL-1132). A further album was released in the United States in 1954 combining Sandi's score with Brazilian songs sung by Sarita Gloria (RCA LM-1737).
