I know I’ve posted videos before of the Giant Kite Festival in Sumpango, Guatemala for Day of the Dead. But witnessing it some years ago made such a huge impression on me: the beauty of the kites, the feeling of comradery among the builders, the gorgeous lush valley where the festival takes place. I set one of the scenes in my novel Mother Mother at the kite festival. The memory was so vivid I knew I had to incorporate it somehow.
This video is narrated by one of the builders. I love the behind the scenes insights.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=crxz9X_J8CQ
And my post about attending the festival in 2014. xoxo
