The side of Mexico you’ve NEVER seen!!

I spent a week in small-town Oaxaca, Mexico for a local cultural celebration no foreigner has experienced (**this is a side of Mexico they don't want you to see**)
❁❁Subscribe to my channel: kzread.info?su...
Come with me to experience this AMAZING week of Oaxacan festivities in a small town you've probably never heard of called Santa Maria Mixtequilla. The reason I say that is because NO ONE has ever made a vlog of this place before.
One of my good friends Ivett's family is from this small town and she invited me to come here and get the local's perspective on this incredible cultural experience. Every year the people of Santa Maria Mixtequilla throw a huge festival-like celebration they call "Fiestas patronales de la Virgin Santa Catalina de Siena."
This Mexico vlog includes:
- Multiple elaborate parades filled with music, candy-throwing, and townspeople dressed in traditional Oaxacan clothing
- A behind-the-scenes look at Oaxacan food is made
- Adorable animals like pollito, my adopted chickadee
- A look at the beautiful clothing worn in this region (huipiles and enaguas) and how women do their hair and makeup
- Crazy pyrotechnics called toritos and the castillo
- The 5-hour expedition for "forest flowers"
- One of my favorite parts called the "fruit-throwing parade" where the royal procession and others in town throw thousands of items into the street for the spectators
- And MORE!
Let me know in a comment what you think of this festival. Would you like to see more videos like this?

    Hey Maddie, Chabela Vargas, a traditional singer who was born in Costa Rica, used to say she was Mexican, because "los mexicanos nacemos donde nos dé la chingada gana". So stop calling yourself an expat, and start recognizing, that after all of these years, and specially after this last video, you are a full on Mexican that happened to be born in the US.

    Wow, Maddie! What a blast of Mexican culture! No doubt an attack on all your senses. It is truly amazing all the work that goes into all that and all by volunteers! The decorations. The food. The music. The colorful costumes. Those crazy bulls they set on fire. What an incredible engineering feat that last explosion of fire and the fireworks was. You looked amazing in all those traditional dresses. Glad that your hair recovered. This video says more about how wonderful the Mexican people are than any other. Their faith. Their love of family. Their culture. Their music. Their passion. Their hospitality. Their kindness. Their values. All unbeatable in any other country. In my two years living in Mexico I never saw anything as wonderful as this. I miss Mexico every single day and wish I could come back. Love ya!

    I had a smile from ear-to-ear while watching this video. You being invited and hosted to this celebration (fiestas patronales?) is a privilege that many foreigners living in Mexico may never experience.

    Thank you Maddie for vlogging a small town Mexican fiesta!!! I can't wait to go to my town's fiesta this year at the end of August. Toritos have always been my favorite and not so favorite part of las fiestas 🤣🤣 I want to try and record a nice video when I go this time around. You are most welcome to come if you would like ☺

    I absolutely loved watching this Maddie. My dad is also from a little town called Tamazulapam del Progreso in Oaxaca. But it was so fun watching your adventures in these other parts of Oaxaca I never knew existed. I love your enthusiasm so much too! I hope you recovered well after all that partying 😂

    More ! More! MORE! Absolutley loved it and reminded me of a tiny facsimile they had back in Brighton, Colorado. Got to watch my niece wear the hair and flowers and finery. Throw fruit candy at us in the Parade too! Then dancing and singing into the night. It was only one day, but we had a blast. I see you did too, and so glad you have such wonderful friends who care for you like family.

    Wow!! I'm running the Guiengola archaeological project. It was so rewarding to see you walking through the ancient city!! These ruins are famous as this was the fortress where Cocijopii fought and defeated the Aztecs. Mixtecs helped with troops during this battle and were rewarded with the lands where Mixtequilla is now.

    Maddie soy un seguidor de tu canal desde que eras mandarina, que gusto y que nostalgia me causa mirar un documental como este. Mi ninez la vivi en un pueblo identico a este en el estado de Guerrero. Como muchos me fui a las grandes ciudades buscando una "mejor vida" pero despues de cerca de cuatro decadas en el extranjero se me vienen a la mente aquellos recuerdos de juventud. Gracias por este video and, by the way, se ven todas muy hermosas con los vestidos tipicos de la region. Saludos desde California.

    This video really cached my attention from beginning to end, it was more than an average youtube video, it was a very profesional documentary 🎉i'm from Mexico City and i moved to Mazatlán 9 years ago but i have only gone twice to Oaxaca and i did a crazy trip from Mexico City to Veracruz to Huatulco crossing the istmo 😆visiting the Atlantic and Pacific in the same Holy week holidays. I think Oaxaca has many hidden treasures (rainforest, archeological sites, beaches, culture, food, music, colonial cities, wonders and traditions). My grand parent was from Oaxaca but from the valley, Oaxaca City, but when i worked as a musician at parties i had the opportunity to work for people from the Istmo and they felt very proud from their traditions, some girls also dressed as "Tehuanas" and i played a famous musical theme "Sandunga" with my keyboard. I like the "Tríos" music also, kind of melancholic guitar and vocal music. I think you have done amazing videos lately, going deeply into really great adventures, and fireworks are really dangerous 😅, but that doesn't stop them to burn them and the natural cycling piscina was phenomenal 😅, really funny
