The here and now... and what and why

Complacency is a trap. At least that’s what I was thinking when I up and left the comfort of a Yankee prep school gig, where I taught music, amongst other things, for 28 years. There was also that life long career as a composer, musician and artist.

First, it was a year in St. Thomas, USVI, working as a reporter and shooting photography and then, a year in San Agustin Etla, Oaxaca, Mexico.
Time passed.
More time passed and a year back in the Athens of America followed by a hasty return to Oaxaca where it is all happening.
A couple of years in San Sebastian Etla and now, just down the road in San Pablo Etla. Life is good.

You can find my music on Jango (World & latin - Worldbeat) and at iTunes and most online stores.
¡Soy consciente de todas las tradiciones del Internet!

La Zandunga - Teotitlan del Valle - 2014

Here are Alani Ruiz Ruiz and Juana Lizbeth Contreras Vincente, Malinche and Doña Marina, respectively, dancing La Zandunga.  This dance is just one small part of the whole Danza de la Pluma, which can have over forty parts.  These two young ladies were all of six years old when they started with the group and will dance through 2015.  You can see how they are changing over time and... they are just too beautiful.
