Our tradition

In Huautla de Jiménez (Mexico) we have a traditional dancing dance called "Huehuentones", every year in on October [names of months and days always begin with a capital letter in English] 27th the festival begins with costumes and dancing. We usually sing and dance in the night, and people go to the houses of the village (the town). Huehuentones means: the man who came from the center of the earth, and certainly indeed we represent the people who are not in the on earth anymore(because they are dead) and who coming come back again to see they all their family and friends on those days. That is the important sense of our tradition.
