How would you feel if your language didn?t officially exist? After 500 years of struggle, Mexico has finally recognized its 60 indigenous languages, many of which do not have a written form.
In this "concert for barely official languages and seduced electromagnetic waves," composer and ethno-musicologist Tareke Ortiz records and mixes ancient languages with electronic and digital sounds of today to celebrate their power and permanence in contemporary culture.
Bring a cell phone, portable radio or videogame and add to the mix of video documentaries, Afro-Mexican rhythms, and a live 20-person chorus.
