The word “Yolotecuani” means “the heart of the tiger” in Nahautl, a group of languages spoken in central Mexico for centuries before the Spanish conquest and still spoken today by more than a million people. Founded in 1986, the group is led by a family of three: David Peñaloza, Isabel Coronel, and their son Osvaldo Peñaloza; joined by Ulises Martínez and César Martinez, as well as two dancers: Tamara Mazón and Gregorio Cortéz. Yolotecuani’s sound features the harp, vihuelas, the cajon, vocals, and the dance rhythms of the tarima. Yolotecuani’ s performance is based on study and practice of fandango traditions of Tixtla in central Guerrero.
