For the Kids

So, this year we finally got it together to put on a good show for the kids.This is an important part of the festival for us because having all those kids around really adds to the kind of ambiance that we are trying to create. We just wanna have fun!

This year the kid section included:

The Star Maya Circus: this great group, who came to Guatemala exclusively for Festival Atitlan, wowed the crowd with their great costumes and set as they performed a version of the Popol Vuh. The neighborhood kids all got parts. They also spent a lot of time painting faces...

Nebaj Childrens Choir: This is a chorus from Nebaj. They sang for us in four languages and did a nice typical dance. These kids are great and probably understand the point of the festival better than anyone.

There was a nice kid mural that was produced by the art gallery folks... the kids got to paint on a giant cardboard mural.

There is a lot more information about these acts on the Bands 2010 page
