In this episode, we take a look at more specific traditions of El Día de Los Muertos. I discuss the importance of the Xoloitzcuintli, or Mexican hairless dog, in Mexican culture and its significance on the holiday. Additionally, we revisit the topic of Afro-Mexican communities. This time, however, we discuss the Afro-Mexican celebration of El Día de Los Muertos and the historical context of La Danza de Los Diablos.

Episode 9: El Día de La Virgen de Guadalupe

¿Qué tal? I'm Sebastian Ramirez Feune, and this is my podcast, Otomí. Coming from the diverse background of a multicultural and multiracial family, I have always been intrigued by the depth of my own identity. I used to feel alone in this quest for self-identification, but I have come to realize that there are many other individuals, Latino/a or not, who have had similar experiences. Being a Hispanic Senior in a Bay Area high school, I have various opinions on a wide variety of subjects, especially regarding social and cultural issues. My intention is for this podcast to be informative and interesting, opening eyes to different perspectives of the world in which we live.
