02 Triqui Dancers and Musicians
Indigenous Triqui musicians Benito and Feliciano Lopez Martinez play traditional music on the violin and tambor (drum) from their communities in Oaxaca, at a celebration in the Hollister Public Library. Triquis are one of the many indigenous groups of southern Mexico, and many people have migrated from their hometowns to California to work in the fields as farm workers.
