content: This intergenerational group of masked dancers and musicians from the Sounds of California program will demonstrate a Mixteco (Indigenous Oaxacan) festival tradition, danza de los diablos (dance of the devils), specific to their hometown of San Miguel Cuevas in the Juxtlahuaca district of the Mixteca Baja in northern Oaxaca, Mexico. They have brought this tradition to their new home in the San Joaquin Valley, where they perform for local community events.
