A bit of warmth
from Mexico to Minnesota via music!
Mexican folk music
by
Tlen Huicani
at the Cannon Falls Library.
A program made possible through funding
from the Minnesota State Legislature

Although the snow was still falling outside,

these musicians brought the touch of a much warmer climate

to the frozen tundra of the north!

Tlen-Huicani is said to be one of the most faithful interpreters of the traditional folk music of Veracruz, Mexico and most of Latin America.

Tlen-Huicani, which means “the singers” in the indigenous Indian language of Nahuatl, makes the beautiful “harpa jarocha” or folk harp, the centerpiece of their music.
