Saw this in person, it was a great show

I must admit I was a little resistant toward the first couple acts since almost everything, (the movements, the men’s and women’s dress, colors, fabrics, hair styles, and shoes), except the music was too different than what I know to be Guatemalan. However, everything that came afterward was very traditional, including the incense and the flowers to the toys that were tossed to the audience at the end, (called ron-rones -or “beetles” in its English translation- designed to emulate the insect’s sound which can be heard in this video after the applause subsides). I can almost smell all those fragrant aromas. Thank you, Redlands Bowl! You have made tiny piece of home available to me.

I don`t know if you from guatemala, but the first couple of acts are as guatemalan as the other ones. except they are more urban cultre whereas the other are more indigenous and religious culture.

They are LADINO and Criollo dances (Mengalas, Euro Chapina) Besides MAYAN CULTURE Guatemala also has Afro Caribbean and Garinagu Guatemalan Caribbean cultures also Xinca (non Mayan, Chibcha and South American) and also LADINO OR MESTIZO, Criollo, Peninsular Iberian (Spanish) and even German (Xela and Coban) as well as Italian, British and USA immigrant culture. I am full Guatemalan and my DNA test says 50 native American (Mayan, north American, Uto Aztecan and South Ametican) plus the rest Spanish, North Italian and British, Norwegian, Jewish. Guatemalans and Central Americans are diverse, multiracial, multi cultural, multilingual and multi ethnic. ✌
