Dia de los Muertos (or “Day of the Dead”) is a Mexican holiday celebrating loved ones who have crossed through the great cosmic gates. Honoring ancestors who have passed on is a key part of holiday celebrations — humor is usually part of the festivities, which also include:
- crafting an altar with the departed’s favorite food, drink, and items
- giving gifts to friends (usually candy)
- baking sweets like pan de muerto
Get a taste of this vibrant Mexican holiday, which falls on a Soundful Sunday this year, with Rosy Arango's "La Bruja". The sugar-skull visuals of the music video are the perfect complement to Arango's sparkling vocals.
