Abstract
There is no doubt that music is one of the most universal arts, with a great amount of followers. However, musicological research is still very limited inside Mexico, particularly out of Mexico City and Guanajuato is no exception to this situation in spite of its wealth in musical traditions of all sorts, such a region, remains as an unknown musical arena. Therefore, are search project was undertaken to discover, locate and classify sources of written information about Guanajuato's music, beginning with its capital. The main objective of this work was to shed a small ray of light in the dark and “deaf” panorama of Guanajuato’s musical sounds, and consequently develop future research and contribute to a deeper knowledge of the rich and important musical heritage found in Guanajuato.
