Příběhy předků z Guatemaly

Sara Curruchich shares her Maya Kaqchikel heritage through her music. Born in San Juan Comalapa, a small town in Guatemala’s central highlands that’s predominantly Kaqchikel, Curruchich grew up surrounded by the arts. It’s how her community keeps its history alive, she says. “Through the different artistic expressions of my pueblo, we remember things that have happened in history,” Curruchich said.”Many of these events we saw as kids in a painting or on a fabric. It’s very valuable to me because Guatemala has unfortunately denied our history. What we know about, what we live, is through art.”
Listen to the story of who her ancestors were and how their legacy is still inspiring today.
