Storytelling workshop with Carolina Zúñiga Zúñiga

History, music and movement from old Mexico

Querétaro 2026, 

What did Mexico sound like in the past? The water drum, the yokotan drums, the Mayan conch shell trumpet, the Cora turtle shell, the Jarocha and Huasteca jaranas… Carolina Zúñiga Zúñiga will introduce the children attending to indigenous and rural musical groups and instruments through a participatory workshop, in which the audience will listen to these instruments, play them, dance to their rhythms, and even stamp their feet during the musical narration of the story Bemberecua de Honorio Robledo.

Children aged 3 to 9
