I was born here in the United States, but I still consider myself a Zapotec, both my parents speak the language well, and my grandparents live in Oaxaca.

They destroyed only what they could see. They couldn’t destroy our language, celebrations etc

Snaps virtually jazz style. What of a work of art this video was. Thank you. ❤❤❤❤

Thank you for this beautiful tribute! I love the use of Zapotec and the quiet composition of the entre piece. I teach elementary Spanish, so always include a culture section, and this will be a wonderful way to give the kids (Gr 2-5) a sense of the beauty and breadth of Zapotec culture, past and present!

I was just telling my wife, it saddened me not being able to do el baile de los negritos or la Danza de la pluma. A huge honor I was robbed from by fate. Pariententes un a abrazo

Is it not too late to learn?

Pero sin esa musica corriente de rap! No tiene lugar en nuestra cultura.

Hello, i'm looking for good ressources to learn more about Zapotec culture, history and mythology . Is there anything you would recommend? Thank you for sharing this video with the world, it is very insightful and thr zapotec language is very beautiful!

[@benperlmutter5190]

basically everything I found, i put in this video . if you google "life zapotec blog" you'll find some good articles about current people's experiences and some history. the zapotec dictionary in the description is cool though (and hopefully accurate!)
