Dia de los Muertos
This weekend i traveled to Tamazunchale, SLP in mexico and i had the neat opportunity to see the 'dia de los muertos' in mexico for the first time. i had heard about it but didn't know it was this big festival with 4 days of celebrating the dead. kids didn't go to school for 2 days and people didn't work on the 1st or 2nd of nov. as i was traveling in this area of mexico know as the 'Huasteca' i was pulled over by several road blocks controlled by little kids demanding a mandatory donation for their celebrations. of course i don
at night there were celebrations of the dead with traditional dances with adults and kids. i filmed two of these dances, the second one here is danced in front of the altar of the dead that pertains to this dance. there were about 6 altars, each with it's own dance.
