Biography

The composer and performer Dan Vera is joined by other musicians that by using modern and ancient instruments produce an interesting acoustic experience.
To preserve our ancestry would come from a reinterpretation.
InCuikatl consists of setting to music the works of registration and translation of the most important researcher of Náhuatl language in the twentieth century, Miguel León Portilla.
This concert implies a reminder message of the necessity to preserve the natureand other elements of nature and traditional cultures.

The ritual vinculated to the music and dance offering, aimed to the universe paths as a way of harmonizing the human being with nature, to “ask permission”, is represented.
