Mexican Masterpieces is having a double celebration this month. We are celebrating our four year anniversary, and Mexican Independence celebration begins today, September 15th. (the eve of independence day).
Mexicans gather in the plazas of cities, small towns and villages. Green, white and red is the color theme. People sell food, candies, toys, horns and flags. Women wear rebozos and traditional custome.
At 11 pm the party stops and the presidents give “El Grito de Dolores”. They shout “Viva Mexico”, “Viva La Independencia” and the crowd echoes back.

Today we celebrate La Guelaguetza, also known as lunes del cerro (Monday on the hill) in Oaxaca, México.
The word Guelaguetza means “sharing”, “offering” or “giving” in Zapotec. This festivity is the most important pre-Hispanic celebration in México. It gathers the seven regions of Oaxaca and centers in traditional dancing in custom, each dance and artisan custom has cultural and historic meaning.
For the Indigenous groups is more than dances and celebration, it represents the importance of building relationships to strengthen cooperation between communities.
Two magnificent examples of Oaxacan art are Zapotec Rugs and Tehuana Blouses, also known as Frida Blouse.
