"Miccailhuitl - The Journey to Mictlan"
The third CD from Michael Heralda’s “Aztec Stories” project.
If you are interested in the indigenous origins of the tradition celebrated around the world
commonly referred to as "Dia de Los Muertos/Day of the Dead" then you and all those close to your heart will enjoy this new work by Michael Heralda
- creator of the "Aztec Stories" project (an educational, cultural, musically interactive program for all ages)!
A year-and-a-half of research culminated in the recording of ancient Nahuatl poetry, oral tradition stories, narratives and songs all set to indigenous music.
Philosophical relationships between Life and Death, from an indigenous perspective, are also presented and shared throughout this new work. This is an educational
resource.
Included with the CD is a 24-page booklet that describes in detail each of the tracks. And a complete listing (with some photos) of all indigenous instruments
used in the recordings is also included for instructor/teacher/listener reference.
Here is what one listener had to say about Michael’s new work:
“I just finished listening to your CD for the third time---it is an awesome contribution to art, culture, and the struggle to educate our people about our
indigenous traditions. Te aventaste…” – Carlos Aceves, Canutillo Elementary School (El Paso, Texas).
