To preserve our ancestry would come from a reinterpretation.
InCuikatl consists of setting to music the works of registration and translation of the most important researcher of Náhuatl language in the twentieth century, Miguel León Portilla.
This concert implies a reminder message of the necessity to preserve the natureand other elements of nature and traditional cultures.
