More from this show

Día de los Muertos, otherwise known as “Day of the Dead,” is a holiday celebrated all over the world on November 1st and 2nd. Día de los Muertos is a time to remember the loved ones we have lost and celebrate life by experiencing what they enjoyed while they were here, such as music. Music is used to celebrate this day and is special to each family. The music is not that of mourning, but rather music that loved ones enjoyed during their time on earth.
