The work “Mixe Fusion” is a unique and innovative creation that combines elements of traditional music from the Mixe region with contemporary and pre-Hispanic rhythms, harmonies and contrapuntal melodies. This fusion is inspired by the rhythmic and melodic motifs of the ceremonial musical piece “Sones y Jarabes Mixes” by the renowned composer Rito Marcelino Rovirosa.
“Mixe Fusion” reflects the rich traditions and customs of the Mixe region, including ceremonies and rites in honor of Mother Nature and King “Konk ëy” (good king). It also reflects experiences lived in the Mixe people and region, where the Mixe language is still preserved and spoken with great pride. Being born in the community of Tlahuitoltepec Mixe, Oaxaca, Mexico, is a privilege that allows me a deep connection with these cultural roots.
The ceremonial musical piece “Sones y Jarabes Mixes”, composed by Rito Marcelino Rovirosa, is widely recognized as one of the representative hymns of the Mixe region. In addition to being a musical piece, it is also a dance that is an integral part of the Mixe culture of the state of Oaxaca, Mexico. The same author also composed a specific hymn for the region entitled “Himno Mixe”.
In the tradition and customs of this region, ceremonies and rituals are performed to thank or ask natural powers such as lightning, wind, water, sun, mountain, mother earth and king “Konk ëy” (good king), who represents the link with the sacred. These ceremonies may have the objective of having a good harvest, warding off a supernatural evil, improving living conditions, having economic abundance or a good year. During these ceremonies, drinks such as tepache and mezcal, food and music, including sones and jarabes for dancing, are offered.
