I like to apreciate my folklore everywhere I stay in México.Our customs and music are mixed from prespahish and spanish cultures. I allways try to live my folklore music. I'm part of this.México is a country with different nuances of customs from north to south. Music and costums are mixed in the origin. Before hispanish war, the prehispahish cultures used to practice "riths" acorder with their vision of the world, the dance, music and religion were part of their life style. We can view one of the prespanish dances in México that had been recalled and practiced by each generations of families, and "preserved" until this days. This dance is preserved in México City, and others states of my country like Tlaxcala, Estado de México, Querétaro and Morelos, all situated around México City. Is common to see the dancers in the historic center of my City. This dance is represented in Huitzilopochtli honor, the God of the War, the fire, for Azteca Culture and other ones that were part of Azteca empire. We can see the Conchero's dance on December 12th, out from our traditional Churcle, "La Villa", or every Churcle's anniversary, in mentioned states of my country.
