Thank you to everyone that attended Los Lupeños’ new folklórico concert, Tocando Tierra, which was the latest creation of Artistic Director Samuel Cortez. This show conveyed how dance is a powerful energy that deeply connects us to our shared earth, culture, heritage and traditions. The dichotomy between unique and shared experiences amongst each other that connects us as humans is the ultimate message. Stomping on the same land creates a spiritual and ancestral connection amongst humans, as this same land provides nourishment, identity, community, and a sense of belonging in the same plane. We are all one through the universal human connection of dance.
