"Amo el canto del Zentzontle..." ("I love the singing of the mockingbird...")

Alejandro Navarro Elenes - Monday, November 7, 2022

"... Pájaro de cuatrocientas voces,
Amo el color del jade
Y el enervante perfume de las flores,
Pero más amo a mi hermano, el hombre."

("... Bird of four hundred voices,
I love the color of jade
And the enervating scent of flowers
But most of all I love my brother, the man.")


This poem is printed in 100 pesos bills in Mexico 
and is -contentiously- attributed to Nezahualcóyotl.
See you this Thursday at 6:30pm in GOS-A954 Gosnell Atrium Lobby!

The results from our availability survey are back. Most of you have agreed that Thursdays after 6:30pm would allow you to attend our weekly meetings more consistently. Meetings will start with dance practice from 18:30 to 19:30, followed with 30 minutes of music practice up to 20:00.

This Thursday we will have our first music practice! Karla Slack will bring instruments played since Pre-Hispanic times in today Mexico. Transport yourself as you learn how to play the teponaztli and the huehuetl -two types of drums, the seashell horn, the flute, or the rattle.
