+Humberto Gomez No seas ignorante. Muchos mexicanos nacieron en los Estados Unidos y hablan mas ingles que espanol, pero no por eso dejan de ser mexicanos.

[@dontbeaclown96]

+Nyx Gypsy Nacer en los EU y ser Mexicano? Huh?

[@lyriclanguages3780]

Daniel Mejia otro pendejo

[@dontbeaclown96]

Nyx Gypsy Un Mejicano es una persona que nació en Mejico. No se va a decir un Japonés nació en Canadá, obviamente. Personas hispanas nacen acá pero nacionalidades son contingentes con el lugar en que se nace. Con esta ignorancia de tu parte como esperas que la gente respete a los hispanos. Eres un idiota.

[@lyriclanguages3780]

Daniel Mejia PENDEJOOOOOOO...

Dia De Los Muertos started 3000 years ago with the Aztecs.

[@lamasbelladelmundo]

Are you fucking serious? The Aztecs arrived in the valley of Mexico around 1325 AD. you fucking dumbass. When the Aztecs arrived Dia de Muertos had already been celebrated for at least 3000 years. Fucking idiot.

[@Ravalos3260]

DIA DE LOS MUERTOS "As another "season" of cultural capitalism makes its way here, we see the origins and reasons for this day in our contemporary world and how a once sacred and time has been hijacked by commercialism and capital gain. As well as individualistic expression of a distorted view of our culture. Originally called La Calavera Garbancera, the etching was created sometime between 1910 and 1913 by José Guadalupe Posada as a broadside published from the original plates in 1930 by Frances Toor, Blas Vanegas Arroyo and Pablo O'Higgiafia: Las Obras de José Guadalupe Posada, Grabador Mexicano. Calavera Catrina (Dapper Skeleton). This image can be found on plate 21 of Posada's Popular Mexican Prints. The image made from zinc etching captures the famous calaveras or skull/skeleton image that had become popular at the turn of the 20th century. The original leaflet describes a person who was ashamed of his indigenous origins and dressed imitating the French style while wearing lots of makeup to make his skin look whiter. This description also ties to the original name garbancera, which became a nickname given to people of indigenous ancestry who imitated European style and denied their own cultural heritage." - Anahuac Ccss

[@citlalie9791]

Cus are culture rocks they cant get enough..

[@lsaldana24]

Una pequeña observación. Han ubicado la ciudad de México al sudoeste de los EEUU en el mapa... Aparte de eso creo que tienen un buen video.

[@killaddict12]

This make doesn't even sense geographically.

[@citlalie9791]

Not Hispanic but Native American

[@ericktellez7632]

Didnt know Mexico City was in New Mexico, makes sense I suppose

[@pip12111]

I didnt know Mexico City was in Albuquerque

[@TheAlhambralions]

Kevin Pippin it once was

[@DaBeezKneez]

is everyone just going to ignore the map of Mexico.. lol which actually pointed to the US lmao

[@jamesdooling4139]

Corea Y Maybe they Googled 'New Mexico' when making a graphic.

[@couriercloud3710]

Is there an English version?

[@lyndsibraunschweig6086]

Mexico City....??? In the United States?????

[@rp5863]

This tradition just got internationally famous because of coco.

[@ayliiful]

who is coco? please tell me everything:) i have to prepare a presentation, so i need to find out as much as possible about it.. but there is just a few things written in english or german, and unfortunately i don't speak spanish...

[@leahw4413]

Jonathan Reyes an awesome movie...

[@MagicalGirlRose319]

The movie Coco made me cry

[@lamasbelladelmundo]

Ron P. This Mexican tradition has been internationally known for a very long time and celebrated in México for more than 3500 years, the movie coco just added to it

[@TheSocalchick05]

Hahaha... that's the dumbest comment i've read

[@HM-wk6yb]

Great video! But you should have just not put the red dot line going to "Mexico" because that was the United States Of America on a map. Maybe don't do that next time..

[@Andy.velvet]

Sinceramente antes de hacer un reportaje, hay que investigar primero, y antes de publicar el video hay que ver los errores. Gracias por interesarte en nuestra cultura, pero no hay justificación en esos errores importantes.

[@thearchangelmichael8440]

What is the name of the song in the beginning?

[@eduart7074]

The Archangel Michael el jinete.

[@LeviathanSpeaks1469]

It made more sense to celebrate it in the summer... why the hell would you want to celebrate your ancestors during the dreary fall season?

[@citlalie9791]

Is cooler weather

No thanks

[@greenboy536]

Maybe but Mexican people use the skeletons as a political complaints or joke

[@calsetawerewolf12345]

green boy the original 'catrina' was actually satire used to represent Mexicans that hid the fact that they were Mexicans dressing as Europeans going around in their high horses. so the catrina represents that no matter who you are we all en up just bones!

[@gerardoherreromorales8490]

Come on you can do better than this, check a map and locate Mexico City. Also, Dia de Muertos is an AZTEC only celebration.

[@julietcapulet7523]
