Join us live on ZOOM (not in-person) Wednesday, May 8, 7:00pm EST for a very special sacred song class offered by Mexican song carrier Luix Saldaña. The Pre-Hispanic songs he shares will be for all of creation, in the native Nahuatl language of the Aztec people of Mexico. This Uto-Aztecan language is still spoken by about 1.5 million people in Mexico.
Known as a sacred song maker, Luix is deeply involved in conserving and showcasing the beauty of the native cultures through his instrument making, art and music. His songs are often described as medicine, with powerful and healing qualities, resonating with people from all walks all around the world.
For those who would like to join but cannot make the live class, we will send recordings to all who register.
Requested Donation: $25. No one turned away for lack of funds.
