This route explores the ritual biography of a pair of pre-Hispanic musical instruments whose sound is still alive today among the Otomi people of the Sierra Madre Oriental, providing the rhythm for dances in honour of the entities located in the landscape. Every May 3rd, on the feast day of the Holy Cross, the vital energy of the instruments is renewed so that they become a powerful tool for connecting humans and spirits.<\/p>\n
