On the walls of Barrio de Jalatlaco, there is always dancing on the cobblestone streets.
And, it’s not just during La Guelaguetza that the sights and sounds of real life dancers can be heard and seen in the neighborhoods of Oaxaca, calendas (parades) celebrating festivals, weddings, graduations, and more are part of the life and soundtrack of Oaxaca.
Lovely. What a wondrous place! ❤️
While it has its own very real challenges, the people and cultures provide an antidote.
I find that first image just magical. And I thoroughly enjoyed your compilation of dances from the Guelaguetza 2014. It’s the best I’ve seen, and I’ve looked at a lot in the past when trying to find a good video to give friends a taste. Thanks.

Thank you Diane! I don’t do much video but, in reviewing it, I’m actually quite proud of it.
