“What’s going to happen with ESL this summer is going to be huge,” Kennedy said. “There are 5,000 Mixteco in Alabama, and we’re just finding more and more of them all the time.”

“Ethnographers and folklorists with the project are also documenting performance and music that is rarely seen outside of immigrant communities. The “Diablo” or Devil dances of the traditional Mixteco dance group Nuu Yuku are one such type of performance. These Oaxacan dancers from the San Joaquin Valley mostly work day jobs as farmworkers, but in their off time, they perform with ornate wooden devil masks adorned with deer antlers, cracking bull whips.”

Talvez la danza de los diablos que se hace en Juxtlahuaca tiene alguna conexión con esta?

The Mexican state of Oaxaca was embroiled in a conflict that lasted more than seven months and resulted in at least seventeen deaths[1]:195 and the occupation of the capital city of Oaxaca by the Popular Assembly of the Peoples of Oaxaca (APPO). The conflict emerged in May 2006 with the police responding to a strike involving the local teachers' trade union by opening fire on non-violent protests. It has since grown into a broad-based movement pitting the Popular Assembly of the Peoples of Oaxaca (APPO) against the state's governor, Ulises Ruiz Ortiz. Protesters demand the removal or resignation of Ortiz, whom they accuse of political corruption and acts of repression. Multiple reports, including from international human rights monitors, have accused the Mexican government of using death squads, summary executions, and even violating Geneva Conventions standards that prohibit attacking and shooting at unarmed medics attending to the wounded.[1]:197 One human rights observer has claimed over twenty-seven killed by the police violence. The dead include Brad Will, Emilio Alonso Fabian, Jose Alberto Lopez Bernal, Fidel Sanchez Garcia, and Esteban Zurita Lopez.[1]:280
