El canto nahua, el canto-baile, devoción cristiana, Cantares mexicanosResumen
In the “Cozcacuicatl” or “Cozcatl Song”, a Nahua song text from the Cantares mexicanos, the noble Nahua song master, Francisco Plácido, sings of Christ, as encountered and understood from a distinctively Nahua Perspective. Innovating, Plácido fashions a clever system of parallels between Christian and ancestral arts and objects of devotion.
