Nonprofit Arts Organization Cashion Cultural Legacy presents Video On Demand access to Tocando Tierra, the latest creation of Artistic Director Samuel Cortez which was held at the Plaza Theater in San José on November 23 & 24, 2024. This show conveys how dance is a powerful energy that deeply connects us to our shared earth, culture, heritage and traditions. The dichotomy between unique and shared experiences amongst each other that connects us as humans is the ultimate message. Stomping on the same land creates a spiritual and ancestral connection amongst humans, as this same land provides nourishment, identity, community, and a sense of belonging in the same plane. We are all one through the universal human connection of dance.
Tocando Tierra features the premieres of Danza de los Migueles from Tzinacapan, Puebla, El Carnaval Zoque-Coiteco from the state of Chiapas, Huapangos from the state of Hidalgo and as well as restaged suites of Los Zacatecanos, Calabaceados de Baja California, Sones Arribeños de Xichú, Nuevo León Centro, and Sones de Jalisco.

Accompanying Los Lupeños and Los Lupeños Juvenil are the talented musicians of Madrigal Musical, Ensemble Folklórico de Veracruz, and Mariachi Estelar.
