I was a little surprised to see that she didn't know about La llorona, I mean that it was based on a story, I really liked how she explained about our culture and all. Thank you for making such a lovely video about Mexico 💜🇲🇽

[@user-nv4mr5kd9j]

it's because the song and the story you are referring to are quite different, in the song it has the meaning of sad love story it doesn't refer to the story

She is living in Korea and knows even more than the guy you can tell what her interests are and how she lacks knowledge of her own culture

[@marianavalenzuela7296]

@@Gomitasd I don't think is lack of our culture, from the legend of La llorona there are at least 3-4 versions of it. Mexico has great diversity in their own legends, and honestly I think it's okay to not know all of them or even discover it from other people, cause you can see the interest, time and energy they invest on doing the research.

[@judithgarcia433]

Actualy, there are Two stories of the "llorona" un México. One Is about a woman that killed her children because of the pain of loosing her Man. The other one, that Is the one that It Is use in the movie coco, talks about the love of a Man that has to leave His wife behind, so he was refering about that woman in his words. It tells a love history, un fact there Is a movie called "La llorona" that represent the first leyend, and It Is animated too. You should watch It too. Regards from México.

[@mr.potato2399]

I heard a different story. It was one about La Llorona being a Lesbian, but couldn’t be with her one true love because her love was also a woman and had to live a “normal” life (Get married and have kids). Her husband died or left I forgot, so she drove herself to drown her kids because she thought she didn’t love them, but she deeply regretted it later and that’s why she wails every night that she wants her kids back

I am an atheist but still I know about the Day of the Dead and its traditions in various regions, not because I believe in them but because they are a fundamental part of Mexican idiosyncrasy and culture of the country.

[@lebana]

@@Tiffany-yy3fl you don’t understand, day of the dead is a Catholic holiday (although it has pre-Hispanic roots). It’s a religious holiday. Although the majority of Mexicans are Catholic, not all of us are. Those of us who did not grow up celebrating it, know that it exists but not the specifics of it. It’s like, now that I live in the US, a lot of white Christians seem to celebrate Easter in a specific way. I live here and I know they do it, I hear them talk about it, but I can’t really give you details about it. Many Mexican traditions are also celebrated differently in different regions of the country. The movie Coco reflects the way day of the dead is celebrated in the south. As a Spanish teacher, these are cultural aspects I teach my students but I always emphasize that traditions are different for everyone. Even when I show them videos about how people celebrate Christmas, the videos are so different from what I experienced as a non-Catholic child growing up in Mexico.

Solo como aclaración: "Se realiza del 31 de octubre y el 1 y 2 de noviembre, donde se tiene la creencia de que las ánimas de los difuntos regresan esas noches para disfrutar los platillos y flores que sus familiares les ofrecen" osea no se celebra como tal (como el Halloween), pero muchos empiezan a colocar las ofrendas desde el 31, e incluso he visto que en otras partes las colocan desde el 28 de octubre, pero varia el estado.

Mi abuela siempre nos inculcó poner la ofrenda desde el 31 y dado que mi mamá perdió a mi hermana mayor el día que nació, siempre ha sido de esa manera en mi casa. En la escuela también siempre poníamos la ofrenda desde el 31, por lo que la celebración comienza desde ese día.

¡Saludos Natalia hermosa!! Me encanta ver los episodios en donde participas 💕 Dejé todo lo que estaba haciendo para ver este video... 😆 El joven Myungjin se imaginaba a México parecido a Corea, con edificios altos y modernos, y sí, tenemos ciudades modernas como en Seul, tales como la Ciudad de México o Monterrey; pero abundan las ciudades coloniales como San Luis Potosí, Guanajuato, Michoacán, Durango o Zacatecas, o los pueblos mágicos como Mazamitla, Tequila, de Jalisco; o Xilitla de San Luis Potosí, o Papantla de Veracruz o...¡Son 132 Pueblos Mágicos registrados hasta hoy! Como sabes, Natalia, México tiene una extensión territorial de casi 2 millones de kilometros cuadrados, divididos en 32 Estados, aunque no creo que sepas que a su vez, la República Mexicana se dividen, en un total de 2,469 municipios y la gran mayoría de ellos tienen una placita con un kiosco, un templo principal y un edificio municipal, construcciones de estilo colonial; muy bellos todos. Los municipios que reciben el nombre de "Pueblos Mágicos", otorgado por la Secretaría de Turismo, puedes encontrarlos en la página de www.visitmexico.com Natalia hermosa, también te recomiendo que le muestres a Myungjin los videos de "Las Estrellas del bicentenario", o "México en tus sentidos", él podrá ver el entorno de México, puesto que él se preguntaba si en nuestro territorio habría montañas, esos videos podrían darle una idea de nuestro país. ¡PRESÚMENOS HIJA! 😎 En cuanto a "la Llorona", la persona que estaba atrás de cámaras decía que si estaba relacionada con una historia de terror, y creo que se refería a la "Layenda de la Llorona", imagino que conoces la leyenda jovencita; en cuanto a la canción es como un lamento por la pérdida (para siempre) de un amor, por eso le pide a la Llorona que se la lleve.

About Día de los Muertos, in some places we use to make the ofrenda since October 28th, it depends on how your family members or loved ones died. Every day has different meanings.

[@ARMY-wg2mt]

The song "la llorona" Is not about the ghost story (which is different) but a man singing to his beloved before going to war, she was crying. Is a song written during the revolution's war (1910-1920).

[@jeanetterodriguez1185]

For those saying it is sad Natalia doesn’t know some of the information I think you guys should take into account that not all of Mexico/Mexicans celebrate day of the dead. The regions that have celebrated long periods of time and celebrate it in the most authentic manner are Michoacán and Oaxaca, which is why Coco is heavily inspired by those two regions. While other places like Mexico City only started the celebration of Día de los Muertos a couple of years ago. Mexico is a country full of diversity, where people from the north and the south can live very different lives and traditions.

[@mariaramirez-sn6ig]

mmm i think it depends on your household, because im from México city and i´ve always celebrated día de los muertos :)

[@lebana]

True. My family is not catholic so we don’t celebrate it. I grew up in a small town in Zacatecas and even the people who do celebrate it, don’t go all out the way they do in the south. For example, they will go and clean the graves and will put a flower wreath, but as far as I know they don’t stay to hang out. My grandmother is catholic and I never saw her make an altar either.

He never came back, but he left a letter to her, and it became this song, how he met her and what she means to him. At least that is the version I know about this song.

It was a pleasure to see him and know about the controversy which was they were trying to trade mark the word " day of the dead" which meant nobody could celebrate the Day of the dead or mention it. He stepped up for not only for Mexico but other countries who also celebrate Day of the Dead in Latin America/world. He is a very talented cartoonist.

A todos los que critican porque la chica no conoce una historia o una tradición les recuerdo que México es un pais ENORME lleno de diferentes tradiciones, en el norte del pais no tenemos las misma tradiciones que en el centro o sur, es mas ni siquiera en el mismo estado tenemos las mismas tradiciones, por mi parte al ser del norte no tenia ni idea de como celebraban el día de muerto en los estados sureños así como imagino que ustedes tampoco saben como lo hacemos nosotros, ya que no lo celebramos igual, el no saber de un tema en especifico no te hace ignorante y ella no tiene la obligación de investigar para un video que al final de cuentas es de entretenimiento, por favor dejen de criticar, me gustan los videos de ellos dos y espero que haya nuevos en el futuro.

Oooh such a good video !!!

[@monicacervera3467]

It seems to me that the story of the weeping woman seems to date back to the 1500s, a priest wrote about the history, pre-conquest of the Spanish, of the laments of a woman that were heard at night and said something like "children we have to go" and "where will I take you?" however this was taken by the natives as a warning or omen of the arrival of the Spanish. From there, different versions of the story have emerged in different regions of Mexico and the U.S.A. On the other hand, the song (although there are also several versions) seems to me that speaks of the pain of heartbreak (of a woman having been abandoned by her husband). In the end, this is just an urban legend. 🤷‍♀️

[@paolagguerrero-alicea4345]

The statue of the korean singer she talks about is in Daegu!!! I have been doing research to visit the city and I have that on my list to visit.

[@beai2231]

Just looked it up and its so heartbreaking but so beautiful to commemorate him in that way

[@idontknowanymore-2863]

I’m the second who comments u-u❤️ And btw I love to watch yours videosss❤️

[@alex-os5en]

The "Llorona" song is actually not about the ghost tale though, someone got it mixed up and spread the rumor

I am so proud to be a Mexican, tho I don’t celebrate the day of the dead, I still love the variation of cultures in Mexico. also I want to be fluent as Natalia in Korean😫

[@plainroz6771]

I love to see that some young people still know who Pedro Infante and Jorge Negrete are (there are many more singers but thosw two are the ones who stand out the most). I'm 18 and I know about them bc of my late grandma and my dad

Show notes from a Mexican: - The dog she said it was cute, it’s a xoloitzcuintle. It’s a dog breed from Mexico and they’re supposed to be spiritual guides. In Mexica mythology out underworld has many circles and you have to travel through it to reach peace and one of the first test is crossing a river, which you won’t be able to do it if you were mean to animals while you were alive. If you were a decent human being, then a xoloizcuintle will help you reach the other side✨ - at 5:53 a lot of families celebrate Día de Muertos making an altar in their homes but the traditional way is to go to the graveyard decorate it and celebrate it your loved ones. It’s a really happy and warm tradition to remember our loved ones in a not sad way. - 5:23 ofc not all of Mexico looks like that, there are places that they do but also we have “normal” cities and urbanization BUT a lot of the places that look like that are called “Pueblos Mágicos” it’s a title given by the government which makes them touristic places, the place has to have historical attributes, symbolism and a lot of stuff that make them super valuable to preserve our cultural richness Guanajuato is a Pueblo Mágico, really beautiful btw, I absolutely love it, I wholeheartedly recommend Guanajuato, Guadalajara, Merida and San Miguel Allende to go pk a vacation, some of my favorites I’ve had the fortune to visit. (San Miguel Allende > Merida > Guanajuato for me, just bc Guanajuato is so popular that it gets really crowded :( ) - La Llorona is a scary story about a woman that lost her kids to a river and now she goes by rivers screaming looking for her kids. Btw let me brag, I’m from Veracruz if you look “La Bruja Xcaret” you’ll see a beauty performance of a traditional dance from my state (sorry, I’m really really proud of my heritage)

[@profortniteplayer69]

3:21 I’ve been to Guanajuato if you look at it from a mountain you can see everything

[@galilealagunes2314]

Why are the most of us writing in english about Mexico when we're mexicans and know how to speak Spanish? 😂

[@VCountess]

I know a lot who can't speak Spanish. I speak it, but I wasn't raised reading and writing it. I taught myself to read it, but my spelling sucks lol.

[@mariacervantes1448]

Coco looked like the lost twin of my late great grandmother. I watched the movie in the theater and the ending got me so bad I literally cry from my lungs 💀 i was a mess, It reminded me so much of her when we lost her I had to excuse myself to the ladies room. I think I scare the lady that was sitting infront of us lol 😆 After that I never watched the movie because I'm afraid of crying again.

[@bloomhhann]

I am from mexico and I thought the song llorona was talking about the Mexican Revolution, not the ghost lol

[@sofia8279]

aaaaaaaaa mexico is a beautiful country, the history, culture, food, traditions, every is awesome. live here is th best that even passed in my life. i love that other countries likde korea been interested in my beautiful natal coluntry :)

[@hsojnitram8071]

I'm Mexican-American so, I don't know everything about Mexico, but I know that she seemed confused about some of things. Since my family comes from Mexico, I know one thing for sure. That Mexico is like the U.S. it's diverse, it's a big country, so it makes since that she doesn't do everything like in the video.

[@dannarosales782]

The movie was based on the traditions of Mexico, especially in a city called Oaxaca. The characters, the family business, and the animals with beautiful colors are as well based on real things that are located here in Oaxaca. You can search for curious facts about the movie to understand every detail represented there.

[@berserker2740]

La llorona has many versions of it, i think the most famous is in Frida, Salma Hayek movie

[@yzayalirian7463]

La llorona song is not related with the leyend, is a song that talks about a beautiful woman, that Worked as a mourner ( people hired to cry in funerals to show more sorrow for the Lost) and acompany the corpse from the Home to the cementery, until the end of the ceremony 9 days later. That way the man Saw her coming out of a church, and talk about cementery, also when said take me to the river, it is because usually, llover used to date There to avoid public exibition of love. And maybe do somthing else.😜

[@3e1i]

i remember hearing about la llorona in the show lo qué la gente cuenta as a kid but i was scared of la mano peluda more 😭

[@PRISGPE]

La abuela Coco se parece a muchas abuelas en México, mi bisabuela se parecía muchisimo a la abuela Coco, con su pelo blanco largo peinado en trenzas y su carita ya muy arrugada un poco larga, es por eso que esta película me hizo llorar un montón

[@qandissa]

Reading the comments I see also the lack of knowledge about the song. This does not refer to the woman's leyend that killed her sons by drowning them and kidnapps children . The song of "La Llorona" is a traditional Mexican son that describes a story of love and pain, which was popularized in the times of the Mexican Revolution, the song was written and born in the Zapotec community of the Isthmus of Tehuantepec in the state of Oaxaca. Is the story of a young man from Tehuantepec, that went to a party in the neighboring community called Juchitán, were he met a girl who left the church wearing the famous regional costume called huipil. When he got the approval of her parents to marry her, the revolution blew in Oaxaca (between the years 1911 and 1912). When they were saying goodbye to each other, she was crying because she knew she will never see his husband again. So he called her "Llorona" because she would not stop crying. The young man went to war but never returned, some time later a friend of both returned to the town and gave her a letter. The extracts of that letter are some of the lyrics that are on the song. The young widow cried all the time for that letter, and she never married again because she hoped to meet her loved one in heaven. The story was written as a local folk song and also it has been modified and interpreted by many authors but Chavela Vargas version has become the most famous. But inspite of being modified the extracts of the letter still remains on the song. Traditions and folklore are very important to maintain please at least know the right origins about our Mexican culture.

Yo siendo de México del Norte y no sabiendo casi nada (obviamente conozco el día de muertos, pero antes de coco no sabía que se hacía) lul

[@mariaramirez-sn6ig]

ohhh

[@lebana]

Yo crecí en Zacatecas y en mi rancho no se celebraba tanto así. Que yo recuerde, la gente solo limpiaba las tumbas y ponía flores y ya.

[@zzkoy2826]

@@lebana yo en primaria me obligaban a hacer una maqueta de una tumba pero nunca supe el propósito xdd lo veía como tarea y ya, las calles no estaban decoradas, no había gente mencionandolo así que meh

[@nizanavarro]

When the movie came out a lot of my friends asked me if people in Oaxaca city (in the south part of Mexico) celebrated the same way as in the movie and yes our traditions are really alike, at least in the way I has been taught, also Disney sent people here to learn more, for example the "alebrijes" that are shown in the movie like the dog and the tiger has their origins here in Oaxaca, also the song La Llorona is from here and has a lot of different versions

[@helensgandarachi9549]

que se vean las películas de las leyendas, de san juan, xóchitl, alebrije etc. son también bastante divertidas y queridas en México. there is movies about legends too, “la leyenda de la llorona” “la leyenda de la náhuatl” “la leyenda de las momias de guanajuato” and the last “la leyenda del charro negro” is like a saga, I think.

[@singularityjackson]

My 3 year old cried watching Coco😞 It’s a touching story💜

[@potabeiwnfisnf]

my grandma has told me la llorana since i was little and lmao i love our culture like stories and food and everything im proud to be mexican even if i look pale as hell lmao

[@Imok_kpop]

Uhmm... La chica a pesar de ser de México le hace falta conocer más su propio país y cultura. Esto es desanimante ya que mucha gente internacional ve este video y se pueden confundir😔😔... Pero buen video, no se queden nada más con esto, investiguen y conocerán más de México🤗🤗

[@Bryan-gj2jk]

3:00 my house in Mexico is about 10 minutes away from there in Quiroga, Michoacán

[@Eeeeeeeeerie]

My “best friend” in middle school told me The llorona was going to come to where we live and traumatized me for the rest of my life 🙃

[@Jeyli.H]

Here in Mexico they tell us so much that almost no one cares anymore, if there are videos of the crybaby are usually fake, it is a legend I think with a lesson. I don't see any of him, though.

[@cribequi]

3:42 me recuerda más a Ecatepec, desde mi visión, bastante alejado de la estética barroca de Guanajuato.

Kinda surprised she said Dia de los Muertos is only Celebrated in Mexico City when that is FAR from it lol it is a national holiday. Every state celebrates it. Also yes! We do it in school all the way till high school :) we make our own Altars.

[@reginadt]

A bit surprised about the Día de muertos decorations. Most Mexicans know about places like Morelia where they go all out but I mean not sure how long she has lived in Japan

[@jackiereyes6511]

Bro I’m so surprised when she said she didn’t know any stories from the la llorna like WHAT HOWWW?!!! it’s literally well known but I guess not...
