sub rosa re-release a cd of unique rare recordings (including ritual music, psalms, sad stories, revolts) documenting the tzotzile culture. this record is a complete view of all the rituals of the tzotzile community - including the music for the day of the dead, the music heralding all saints' day, the transfer of the power (chant of authority changing hands), sanctifying rituals, some sad dialogue between margarita and antonio (in maya language), ambiance of the christmas night and carnival... and a fragment of speech of the zapatista army of national liberation... who are the tzotziles? about 150.000 tzotziles live in the high plateaus in the state of chiapas. they form, with the tzeltales, a closely related tribe, one of the most prominent indian communities in mexico of mayan extraction; they retain a traditional life.
