Lo de Marcos is becoming somewhat cultural with groups working hard to maintain and enhance their history through dance....the dancing horses are some of the best in the area.
Last Friday we attended a festival supporting the Mexican cowboy called the Charro. The Charro are raising money so they can continue to travel to different events with their horses.
The host family was very gracious in offering their house and grounds for the meal and the performers.
Another group from Lo de Marcos that is in demand is the traditional dance group. This particular group was made up of local students from town and are trained by a resident of Lo de Marcos.
On of the most interesting dances of the night was called the Lady and the Horse. The woman and horse danced together in the courtyard and kept the audience's attention throughout.
It rained briefly so we made our way to shelter. Before we knew it, the mariachis moved in front of us...no escape!
The last dance of the night was spectacular. This lady often performs in parades and is the best of the group, but don't tell the Charros that!

Nice to see they are doing their best to keep their culture alive there. Here.....we would see skate boarders doing video games on their iPhones as their "culture"
We see North American kids down here, on the beach, Facebooking and gaming all the time....with the ocean right in front of them.
