A gathering for Mexican Culture

 Masks, Music, and Dancers


























MUSIC





FOOD & DRINK

Tacos
Tequila Shots

Dancers

Before the Dancers could start, this little man had to explain in great laborious detail (in Spanish) and then have it repeated in English by the MC.  This little intro lasted about an hour and best I can recall... He said, "Good conquers evil. The masks represent evil. The Mexicans battle the Spanish and it's a violent dance."  He asked for donations (or the MC added it?) to help support of local music and culture.  Next a bunch of kids danced around for awhile.  THEN the masked dancers marched out and the violence started.  The dancers dressed like Mexicans had 4 foot long heavy switches and they proceeded to slap the shit out of the masked dancers.  Lots and lots of jumping, running, and the very loud crack of the whips hitting the masked dancers... till they all fell dead.  The End.
