What is FOLKLÓRICO? Folklórico (folk-lori-co) is an authentic expression of a culture and it embraces its traditions, legends, myths, music and art, transmitted generation to generation.
The costumes and the music reflect the living cultures of their regions, respectively. The elements of Mexico’s culture are combined together to produce a language of movement, rich traditions and the merging of two strong elements; Indigenous and Spaniard. |
