Senate Memorial 21 proposes that New Mexico consider adopting the song "Chile Verde Rock" as the official chile song of the state. The memorial highlights the cultural significance of chile, a recognized official vegetable of New Mexico, and acknowledges the absence of an official song dedicated to it. The song, composed by Uvaldo Olonia, is presented as a fitting tribute to the beloved vegetable, capturing the essence of New Mexico's culinary heritage through its lyrics.
The resolution calls for the New Mexico legislative council to assign an interim legislative committee to study the recommendations for the adoption of "Chile Verde Rock" as the official chile song. Additionally, it encourages state agencies to promote the song. The memorial concludes with a directive to transmit copies to various state officials, including the governor and secretaries of state, tourism, and cultural affairs, to ensure awareness and support for this initiative.
