Every few years Los Cenzontles sponsors a trip to rural Mexico
(1991, 1994, 1998, 2002, 2004) for its young members to study
folklore in its native contexts. This has been a wonderful tool
to teach youngsters the relevancy of traditional arts and expand
their view of the world.
We also invite Mexican artists to San Pablo to initiate residencies.
These have included Gilberto Gutierrez of Veracruz, Julian Gonzalez of
Tecolotlan, Jalisco, Gisela Farias Luna of El Hato, Veracruz, and
Atilano Lopez, of Jaracuaro, Michoacan, among others.
