Join us for our annual celebration of Day of the Dead. Readers this year will be Maria De Los Angeles Diaz and Sofiana Olivera Abalan. Allen Arias’ band, Hide in the Shadows will provide music with Calpulli Iskal Dancers.
Hide in the Shallows is a fusion of indie folk and acoustic rock style. Their bilingual lyrics foster their identities as they perform from their experiences. Maria De Los Ángeles Diaz is currently a Kansas City resident. Maria has a degree in Architecture from the University of Mexico (UNAM) where she earned a prize from the Royal Institute of British Architects for her help on a project that designed a solar house for the community of Chempil, Chiapas community. Sofiana Olivera Abalan is a writer, traveler and an immigrant to the USA. She writes fiction and theater both in Spanish and English. Calpulli Iskali: family, rebirth. A family that continues to grow as we search for knowledge of our ancestors to find the identity that was been denied to us through traditional Mexican dance and prayer.
