16 Mañanitas
Just after dawn, in a garage in Fresno, indigenous Mixtec immigrants from
the Oaxacan town of San Miguel Cuevas celebrate the saint's day for their
town. A traditional band from their hometown, Hoz y Cuevas, arrives to
perform the Mañanitas, in front of the altar with the saint, candles
and paper flowers.
