Santa Maria Tlahuitoltepec is a special place for numerous reasons. Located in the Sierra Norte part of the state, the village is famous for its remarkable fashion sense and embroidery and......
Their trajes with their classic embroidery are easily recognizable. The work is all hand done using sewing machines and always color coordinated. Also, they have a different style of wearing the rebozo on the head.
One of the other aspects for which the village, is renown, and my favorite, is its musicians. I've heard that almost 90% of the inhabitants plays a musical instrument and it certainly shows in the level of musicianship. Every youth musical ensemble I've heard has been exemplary. They can really play!
And what could be better than Oaxacan haute couture and really talented kids performing before hundreds of thousands of people? Note the notes on the sleeves.
It was pretty special as they performed in the second and final guelaguetza desfile or parade.
I love that each musician's instrument was embroidered on their uniform's back.
What a look! I want one!
So cool! And I wasn't the only one taking it all in.
Viva Santa Maria Tlahuitoltpec!
