K’uinchekua – An Event to Enjoy the Cultural Greatness of Michoacán
K'uinchekua, the Fiesta de Michoacán (March 18-20), showed us how great and rich our culture is, with three days of celebration when the Michoacanos had the opportunity to attend and celebrate our culture and showcased our traditions, living in harmony with the joy of the many artists who proudly displayed their talents.

With their different interpretations, they raised the legacy inherited by their ancestors, the native peoples of Michoacán, communities that proudly showed us such an important part of their identity.

Dances, music, impressive clothing with extraordinary embroidery, wood carving on their masks, including the lavishness in the feathers of the Tlahualiles of Sahuayo, a sample of their cultural heritage.

It was a
splendid stage, framed by the Yácatas of Tzintzuntzan, with magnificent
lighting that we had not seen before, and showed off the greatness of the
archaeological site, the former capital of the Purépecha empire.

More than 200
artists delighted us with their delivery on stage, but Nana Paula elevated the
event with her rendition of a 102-year-old dance from the community of
Jarácuaro in the Lake Pátzcuaro Region. She clearly stood out in the
event with her joy and enthusiasm.
Various
artistic interpretations made their mark from different regions of Michoacán,
not only from the Pátzcuaro Lake region, but different regions of the State,
such as Tierra Caliente and Tarecuato and Sahuayo.

Other genres
in which Michoacán who put their best foot forward were the Tzintzuni
Philharmonic Orchestra, accompanying tenor Juan del Bosco, who represented Janitzio
with the famous melody of Agustín Lara, and Mariachi musician Juvenil Galleros,
who delighted us with popular songs such as Caminos de Michoacán, Juan
Colorado, and Lindo Es Michoacán.
