Palmview High School Grupo Folklorico “Ozomatli”

Queretaro

In the Sierra Gorda de Queretaro, during the month of October, the community comes to-gether in celebration of La Guadalupana. The people pay homage to Mexico's patron saint with La Danza de Xochipitzahuatl that involves everyone dancing and carrying ribbons. During the Tianguis (Mercado) the people of Queretaro sell their goods from all over the region such as Iztle,cotton and pulque. The people are known for their poetry and rhym-ing techniques. It is during these playful confrontations that the forward and brazen na-ture of the people is made known. The festival continues with the Huapango Aribeño of the Sierra Gorda del Lindero. These huapangos are common in the sierra and are charac-terized by use two violins and vihuela.

Veracruz

Because of its importance as Mexico’s principal Caribbean and Atlantic sea port, Veracruz has always been a locus for the mixture of different cultures, particularly native Mexican, Spanish, and African. Their music is comprised of a mixture of Spanish music influenced by African and Caribbean rhythms. Its dances, Sones and Jarabes, are made up of complex foot-work or “Zapateado” with flamenco characteristics. The women wear beautiful long dresses adorned with gold that represents the ocean and sea life. Emphasis is placed on the ways in which these folk dances reflect the history and cultural attitudes of the Mexican people.

Sones y Jarabes Antiguos de Guanajuato

Sones y Jarabes Antiguos date back to Colonial times and have their roots in the mix of cul-tures between Spain and Mexico. Due to the religious prohibition of sones and jarabes, they were not officicially recognized until 1753. The “Jarabe Gatuno” was one of many “indecent” dances prohibited during the inquisition. If performed, participants were excommunicated from the church.
