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. ❤❤❤❤

Proud to have ancestors from Oaxaca :)

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 feel so seen. Thank you so much for this. I take so much pride in my people. ❤️

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

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!)
