Patxi Beltzaiz - "La danza de los diablos"
Mexique, Guerrero. Chaque année, la danza de los diablos se déroule dans la petite ville de Cuajinicuilapa pour célébrer la « fête des morts ». Plus qu’une simple fête, c’est une tradition séculaire, où le passé négrier revient hanter ceux qui veulent l’occulter : la plupart des habitants de cette partie du Mexique est d’origine africaine, descendant d’esclaves. Une danse qui revendique l’héritage des ancêtres, qui permet aux esclaves d’hier de s’affirmer comme Afro-Mexicain.
Patxi Beltzaiz est photojournaliste à Mediabask et photographe documentaire.
