Blood For Water: Fighting for the Rainy Season in Mexico
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 1 окт 2024
- Our Vice Mexico team took us to La Esperanza. A little town in the nowadays violent state of Guerrero where indigenous people have the very lovely tradition of beating the shit out of each other in order to ask the gods for a good rainy season.
Our host, Lucia Anaya got to be a part of a full day of drinking mezcal, dancing, praying and inflating turkey stomachs as if they were balloons. Then, the people of La Esperanza took us to the battlefield, where once a year they meet up with their neighbor town and fight against them. The tradition says that every drop of blood will turn into a drop of rain, and Lucia was determined to drop some blood in the name of La Esperanza.

Rusty Shackleford They get drunk on their job that fucking great

VICE vice mexico allways cover some weird shit.
Crispy Surf cool story bro
VICE This was one of your best work!
Excellent RUclips channel with very well produced videos, always a joy to watch vice
She's the only Vice reporter that got my respect she throw the hands
william crippington 1300 there was one other vice reporter, some Japanese chic that drank medicine made out of shit, stupid yes but ballsy, i would not have done that, i like to fist fight but to dring shit ? She threw up like hell to. She has my respect and my sympathy, but this mexican gal had guts , gotta respect that
william crippington 1300 theres a vice documentary where one of the vice reporters robs a jewlery store on camera. lol vice goes hard asf
Nick Northcutt lol got a link man?
Yea it's in one of the recent vids just scroll down the vice videos I think it's called the pink panthers *****
william crippington 1300 Thanks! Shits hilarious how they just leave the cameraman outside the store
I'm not Mexican but i don't know why people are hating on Mexico for this its fucking badass!
Yeah.. stupid tradition..
Michael sylndra real strong culture you must have...
Outlaw Ravers It does look fun.
Outlaw Ravers im mexican and this is pretty fucking stupid
Gabriel Rosales I am stupid and this is pretty fucking mexican. *
Ah, gotta love those good old mesoamerican traditions. Always nice and bloody with plenty of alcohol.
***** Psychedelics, and alcohol as well actually, they had alcohol pretty early on and was naturally attributed to a few gods and rituals surrounded it eventually. Look up mezcal and pulque. Both sacred and of ritualistic importance.
***** Lolno. Alcohol is one of the most common inventions that occurs in even the most secluded of civilizations and tribes. All you need is starch/sugar rich products, let those 'accidentally' sit for a while in some water and you have a good chance to get a 'religious experience' out of drinking what's basically rotten food.
There's some evidence suggesting that we've been drinking fermented beverages (what we know as alcohol) as far back as the stone ages.
Pepijn Rietveld Mexicans drink Mezcal and Tequila, Russians drink Vodka, The Irish drink Whiskey and Americans drink Budweiser .. LOL
Pepijn Rietveld Alcohol was invented in The Muslim world, son.
Ramazan Alikhan Sure. But it was invented in a lot of different places as well. Because it's not that difficult of an invention. There's archaeological evidence of people in neolithic China, almost 7000BC (before it was China) that suggests they were producing fermented beverages. (thus, alcohol). The Georgians had wine as far back as 6000BC. And the list goes on, all invented seperately and before the beginning of Islam. Just look at the wikipedia for the history of fermented beverages and be sure to check the sources. ;)
Those two old guys fighting at the start was awesome, but props to that reporter who joined in after.
10:31 A fight between two elders, two gentlemen, two Mexica brave warriors, two amigos, to hard working men, two mexicanos.
RESPECT bros !
EkBalam707 it was an awesome elder fight, respect for these humble and good people.
EkBalam707
Very cool.
EkBalam707 much respect for the indigenous people of mexico
Ramazan Alikhan Yes, but unfortunately the corrupt politicians in USA and Mexico don't think like you.
Juan on Juan
This is when this joke is actually funny💀
El Guerra de Juan en Juan
Boooooooooo!
*Likes the comment*
We really need to have these fights in Cali we really need the water
You know I used to live in California but why do you call it “Cali”?? Never heard anyone in California call the state like that
RokePk Na your wrong I’ve heard that plenty of times maybe you weren’t in Cali long enough
Junior Gavia huh, well I’ve never heard
Junior Gavia besides, I was raised there, (born in Mexico btw) maybe you live in the hood, or your a tlacuache, but yeah I’ve never really heard anyone call California, “Cali”
@Itzel Bastian that’s what I’m saying¯\_(ツ)_/¯
-De donde eres?
-del df
-de donde eres?
-el df
-y tu pueblo?

Im from mexico city as well SALUDOS!
You think your better just because your from el DF?
no. what makes you say that?
Rotfl! You don't even know why!? That's sad
:( poor you. Tst tst tst...
justkeepitoriginal are you ok?
A mi no me gusta el DF. Hay muchos ladrones y basura
It's pretty sweet that no matter what Mexican's always seem to have a shit ton of fun no matter what they are doing, although a ton of Mezcal is usually involved!
A great tradition. Everybody is able to act out once a year and then hug each other. Must help strengthen community and keep the peace.
Anzu Wyliei Hehehe!
Juan Manuel Aquino I feel honoured, but no.
This proves just how unique Mexico is as a country. We’re rich in history, culture, food, music, terrains, traditions, tourism and so on
TAKANAKUY ?
Show more of these Mexican stories, they're great
betoliver008 eat your TV dinner and donuts while you watch slobbing on your couch, Ameripig
Campesino Gambino hey pls be respectful brother Matthew 12:36-37 36 But I tell you that everyone will have to give account on the day of judgment for every empty word they have spoken. 37 For by your words you will be acquitted, and by your words you will be condemned.” in good spirit i tell you God Bless and remember JESUS LOVES YOU AND YOUR FAMILY TOO EVERYONE :)
betoliver008 maybe my Spanish may be a little bit rusty. But did you just call him a dog abortion 😂😂😂😂😭
"It feels kinda cool" While cutting up a cow carcass...this chick is badass.
But really no less rational than praying to Jesus for your mothers cancer to go away.
***** just because someone has religious beliefs that doesn't make them rational. rational is the idea of being logical about a situation and yes praying to god is illogical (even if you are religious there are many arguments for this) just like making people bleed wont make it rain.
Don't get me wrong you are entitled to spirituality but at least don't be so deluded and illogical to say praying or blood worship will do anything. But again its your right to be deluded.
***** just because someone believes something doesn't automatically make it rational. the indigenous people of papua believe that eating the brains of their enemies makes them stronger. that it infuses them with the power and spirit of that person. is this rational? one would argue no since all it's gotten them is kuru (human version of mad cow).

***** that statement makes no sense
I don't know what everyone's problem is with this...The only difference between this and a Saturday night on Croydon high-street is nobody out side a pub at 2am stops swinging when time out is called.

MMA: MEXICAN MARTIAL ARTS
If people around the world solved their conflicts like this then it would be a great place! no guns, no nukes no war...etc..
Bro I wanna see Trump and Jingping get in to one of these and just duke it out.
I'd fight Putin!
Recuerdo cuando los de mi rancho nos agarramos a putazos contra los del rancho mormón de los Lebaron y los Romney, allá en Chihuas... les ganamos y les reventamos la jeta, pero despues nos estrechamos las manos y continuamos siendo socios.. inches mormones son bien locos, nuestro rancho es peso pesado, pulque, tortillitas hechas a mano calentadas en el comal, caldo d ecabeza, chiles frescos toreaditos, un cafecito negro en olla de barro, nopaitos frescos y frijolitos negros o pintos de la olla, mole pa' la fiesta; y ya pedos.. unos mezcales en envases de cocacola de dos litros jaja... como los del rancho de la esperanza, jajaja ah!.. que rico el aroma establo y naturaleza.. Viva México , cabrones!!
Mexicans have fight in their DNA. Aztec warriors.
Reason I love my culture we have so many traditions that may be awkward to some yet it's a whole community working together and that is priceless
now i understand why it's always raining in england
This tradition sounds awesome. You get hammered, have a fight, then drink more
México is crib of the most developed, impressive, majestic and awesome Civilizations during the Pre-Hispanic times, is awesome to see some of their ancient traditions still alive. Viva México, cabrones !
Мoleслав Dažbog
¡ Viva México !
Maxx Mexx ... Viva México !
Мoleслав Dažbog
I am proud to be M E X I C A N O
This is how a fight should be, honorable. People nowadays dont have a clue what honor is in a fight. People at least here in the U.S. Beat the crap out of somebody who is down on the ground and not even fighting anymore, and groups of ppl attack one person and beat the crap out of them and then think that they are tough shit.
MEXICO is awesome ! beautiful traditions... I love Mexico. Cheers with mezcal !
Drinking with and fighting the locals - that's some hardcore journalism right there!
Why is Mexico the only country with a super retro cool intro?
Cause we are awesome 😁
Cause it's Mexico, this country never stops amazing me. Like its a weird, hilarious, cultural, religious, hard working, fighting, friendly and a unpredictable country. Thus brings a good weird intro that somewhat fits in.
Dancing Petal true though, mexico is so diverse, you have beach resorts, historic towns, indigenous sites, mega cities like mexico city, european blood in the north, indigenous in the south, day of the dead, differnet food per region, ect.
+AzureReaperZ just like any other country, shut up and watch the video
+AzureReaperXX like any other country, they have racism
I find it fascinating that the traditions of thousands of years past are still very much alive in some places. We are talking about back to times of the Aztec god Tlaloc.
Amazing. Thanks for sharing.
These are real Mexicans drinking hard ass Tequilla in the sun.
***** You are an idiot and you don't know shit about México !!! They are indigenous "Mexican Native Americans", they speak nahuatl and some are bilingual or trilingial. They don't drink Tequila !!!! they drink Mezcal ( the cheapest brands because they are poor ) they drink it in plastic soda containers and fillthem up in la Cantina de la esquina. They work in agriculture and they can kick your ass with bare hands.
Chill dude.
Мoleслав Dažbog Lol You're an idiot and YOU don't know shit about Mexico. Most Mexicans are indigenous and these people are in fact real Mexicans. Get a life.
One Val You are also an idiot, most probably the same idiot with a different nickname. Mexican is a Nationality!!!! not an ethnic group, color or religion!!! The indigenous people live in all The Americas, the real Americans in USA are the Apaches, Comanches, Sioux, Dakotas, Lakotas, Cherokkee, etc etc... These people of the video are Mexicas who speak Nahuatl. Nahuas were a civilization also known as The Aztec Empire... A civilization that was more developed than you and your tribe.
Мoleслав Dažbog
Lol You're basically saying the same thing that I already knew. They're Mexicans. Plain and Simple. Being an ethnic group is a social construct so for many, Mexican is definitely an ethnic group.
6:00 When they talk about criminal activity in the town, you can easily see how he's lying to protect themselves from the criminals. No matter where in Mexico, if you ask about criminal activity no one seems to know anything...
g hujzj Yeah he was totally lying and drunk lol. "happy town" more like where they probably stash the drugs town.
g hujzj I assume you have never been in the country... I live here and I'm pretty well informed of the history and progression of organized crime in Mexico and I could talk about it with just anyone willing to listen.... but yeah it's easier to generalize and assume things when you don't know them.
Maybe he thought if he lied it would bring more tourism
TheSingleLife Those people do not want tourists - how would they benefit?
g hujzj bullshit
I love her fresa city girl accent.
I hate it xd
Love the Shelbyville vs Springfield reference
7:08 he sounds like my drunk uncle
those old dudes fighting was hilarious
Vaya! hasta que este canal realiza un reportaje que vale la pena! Estas tradiciones rurales de nuestras comunidades indígenas están en peligro de extinción. Si la Unesco realmente se preocupara por rescatar las tradiciones ancestrales de cada pueblo, declararía a toda la nación mexicana como patrimonio cultural de la humanidad. Sin emgargo, no es así, sino, al contrario. Cada vez el idioma nahuatl va desapareciendo así como estas tradiciones ancestrales; y las comuniades mexicanas rurales o urbanas se van cada vez, desaculturizando y agringando. Buen reportaje, tipo estudio antropológico; la reportera o corresponsal, chilanga, muy simpática :D... me dió risa cuando la rancherita ya bien entrada en mezcal le preguntó que de que rancho era y la reportera dijo que del D.F tres veces seguidas.. jajajaja chilanga banda, jajaja
Why can’t we do this with trump supporters 😂😂🇲🇽🇲🇽
everybody is drunk haha
EPIC TOWN EPIC PEOPLE ^_^
This world needs more people like this they respect each other even during a fight and at the end they can drink it out
I like this tradition, kick some ass, squash beef, shake hands, and drink.
VICE DO A DOCUMENTARY ON THE COSTA CHICA DE GUERRERO Y OAXACA THIER AFROMEXICAN COMMUNITYS THAT ALOT OF PEOPLE I WOULD SAY DONT KNOW ABOUT. GOD BLESS YOU ALL
Knowing my parents are both from hardcore Guerro and im from L.A. , i imagine how my life would be if they decided to stay , one day ill visit home💞
Vice-Jews TV needs to report about Child prostitution in Cuba.
Campesino Gambino Vice-Jews is pro-communism and pro-liberalism.
Campesino Gambino
Vice Jews is afraid and systematically evade certain topics. Political interests because Obama is currently trying to be friend of the commies, so the media is trying to portray a positive image of communist Cuba and a negative image of Democratic Mexico. Jews are weird people.
Campesino Gambino
child prostitution in Cuba ?????? jajajajaja tu estas loco, chico!
Camilo Milfuegos hazte el desentendido de la vista ciega y oidos sordos como Obama y Vice-jews... LOL
seguro eres un balsero auxiliado
Campesino Gambino The american media is based and corrupt
this way children learn fairness early on from adults. I'm sure this can prevent a lot of violent crimes.
Very interesting to see them keeping their traditions alive
BLOOD FOR THE RAIN GOD
Looks really fun, respect at the end of the fights thoee... Lol they get drunk so they cant feel the pain, I miss Mexico.
México es una nación rica en tradiciones culturales,
... Viva México !
Мoleслав Dažbog MEXICO es GRANDE!
0:19 - 0:27 what is the name of that specific piece of music?
They´re from Guerrero state they are warrios nontheless!!!
No reason to hate on Mexico for this there's MMA/UFC and boxing in other sports. And people have died boxing. So this isn't any worse
Grandpa's got hands he'll whoop ya ass... 👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽
Straight down
You people do realize these are indigenous people from Mexico. They're not the average Mexican citizen. The vice reporter, she's your average Mexican citizen.
Not average, she is, as we call them, whitexican.
What was that intro music🔥
Boi im fina head down to mexico next time my parents go & whoop some ass lmao
Aron Delfin youre cool
I love my Mexican people, so proud to be one!
Vice( Vice-Jews TV, based in N.Y ) reports so much about Rural Mexico and about the American war on Mexico self called War on Drugs, because deep inside they admire Mexico so much...
1
Despite cultural cleansing and the vast abuses levied on this native Nahua community, they have proudly kept up their heritage despite all odds.
Is that not something to be proud of? Or should we all just pretend to be Europeans?
the chick at 12:30 grinning the whole way through is badass lmao.
this is cool as, everyone can participate and the matches are even...why the hell not lol.
Me siento como un ignorante al no conocer tradición tan extravagante de mi México
Mexican's are known for being Warriors and me watching this lets me with no doubt from kids to elders wow 😯😆👌🇮🇹
Thats the italian flag
brejaal pretty sure he knows ,he probably doesnt have the correct app
Vice: go there, ask questions, get fucked up, get fucked up and ask questions, go home
Me gusto mucho esta chava es de huevos la mamazota
These people should be left to govern themselves and be left alone to cultivate corn or whatever, they should have never been forced to live a Eurocentric life, they are programmed to live differently and they are different.
Ooooh my beautiful México, Im from jalisco and I didnt have any idea that this shit happens, but it is amazing how after all the putasos they shake hands and cheer for the fight. I love all old cultures and traditions even tho they dont make sense at all.
Me cague de la risa con el minuto 7:57 jajajaja "soy del DF". Saludos desde Panama.
Hasta ahora, de los mejores reportajes que he visto en vice......a pesar de su corta edad esta chava hasta se íntegro a las peleas......y lo hizo ver tan espontáneo.......felicidades......!!!
How can you NOT like Mexico?!
Welcome to "Mexican Fight Club"! ! ! ! !
This reminds me of cops in the states everyday
The first two old men are fuking OGs!!!
10:30 the old dudes starting the fights
Good to see Aztecs still doing their thing in Mexico. #KeepTheNativeCultureAlive
I came here because I thought this was a video about unexplanations about blood rain.
Mexico vice journalists are always drinking 😂🙏🏽👌
Anyone know the song thats played prominently between 1:00 - 1:05?
ay mi guerrero
Like learning about different cultures i would put a jaguar's head on any day and fight my name would be king 😉
wow the host is so down to fight this girl should be a boxer lol she's extreme and drunk lol got guts
in America if you challenge someone to a fist fight they will probably pull a gun on you.
Increíble documental, felicidades y la conductora lo máximo! Saludos
I want to party with them so bad
Im mexican and people from mexico are crazy af bruh
Steve O Your comment makes no sense.
acammtt yeah, that's what i thought. I hbate when pochos call themselves Mexicans. just call yourselves mexican-american, pocho, chicano or whatever you want, just do not call yourself Mexican, 'cause you aren't.
✊✊✊💪👊👊 Wait to you see the machete fights in Mexico 🇲🇽 Not for the faint of heart
This is awesome, what a great way to keep things peaceful. A little dancing, a little brawling, and allot of mezcal! Muy Bueno!
Ah Mexico, home to Drug Cartels, Brutal Drug cartel murders, drugs, corrupt governments, border hoppers, and Tacos. EL MEXICANO PRIDE-O VIVA LA VIDAD.
Fun fact america doesn't have a religon America is 100% immigrants? So you're saying everyone is a disgrace

Illuminati Confirmed Mexico has a higher rate of obesity than America. Look it up.
krnpowr mericas still know for fatness in general.
Illuminati Confirmed I suppose... but so are Mexicans. When people think of Mexicans, they think of short round bodies, not tall and slender.
Americans should really start realizing the significance of Mexico (and Latin-American) culture for these people, and keeping in mind that capitalism is a culture homogenizer, slowly converting millenary traditions into a culture of consumerism as the only way of reaching happiness. It's just sad that this is happening all around the world, and that those who oppose to this ridiculous cultural change are seen by many as violent revolutionary enemies. The message here is: Tolerate and accept other's beliefs, you can even become wiser if you stop and listen to what people from different cultures have to say. Viva Latinoamérica. (sorry for bad english).
Federico.....IT'S NICE ALL OF THESE THAT YOU'RE TELLING US, HERE, BUT THERE IS NO TIME FOR THAT NOW! MEXICO IS UNDER MORTAL THREAT, AND THESE PEOPLE SHOULD TURN THEIR ENERGY TO GUERA AGAINST THE CARTELS, AND NOT JUST TO PLEASE AN OLD AND UN EXISTED MAYA GOD! GET SERIOUS FOR GOD'S SAKE! PEOPLE ARE DYING BY THE THOUSANDS IN BARYOS AND PUEBLOS ALL OVER THE COUNTRY!...INNOCENT PEOPLE! NOT JUST SOME PETY THUGS OR DRUG TRAFFICKERS! EVEN I....YOUR HERMANO, FROM GREECE, HAVE REALIZED THIS, WHO I LIVE THOUSANDS OF MILES AWAY FROM YOU, AND YOU LATINOS...CAN NOT?!!! MERCY!!!
you see this is how you solve conflicts. sometimes you need to let 2people with really bad blood with each other just settle it with some good putasos.
Now we can finally get some rain
I'm from GUERRERO- MUCH LOVE 💘
THE HYNA DOWN AF FOR EVEN GETTING IN THERE LOL 😆
The real question is: Does it actually work?
***** Well they say that each drop of blood equals some rain, so im assuming that's not alot of rain unless people start pouring blood from their faces.
It's been raining tons in Mexico
RadicalBastard187 global warming?
RadicalBastard187 Impressive
In that case, screw science, looks like this right here is the solution to california's droughts. :D
***** farming techniques have always surrounded around planting during the right seasons, and the time of year to expect rain
Damn we Ottomans really missed this place. These guys would make fine janissaries !
