About Me |
|
In Lak Ech is a Mayan concept meaning you are my other me-tu eres mi otro yo. In the flesh, In Lak Ech is a performance poetry and song collective of Xicana multi-media artists, writers, students, and organizers uniting to tell Her-story through poetry. In Lak Ech is comprised of Marisol Torres, Felicia Montes, Claudia Mercado, Cristina Gorocica, Rachel Thorson Véliz, and Liza Hita. Their flowering words, which express their urban indigena realities are offered to the past, present, and future generations. Since their birth on International Womens Day, 1997, they have been heard from the jungles of Chiapas to the concrete jungles of Mexico City, Los Angeles, and beyond. In Lak Ech has traveled throughout California and the southwest to give a voice to the many who struggle for dignity, culture, and life. Through canto, comedy, poetry, and observation, they are a unique blend of modern day oral tradition, exploring politics, spirituality, love, and pain. Based in Los Angeles, California, the women of In Lak Ech not only perform poetry and song but also organize cultural celebrations, participate in conferences, and conduct workshops for diverse communities. These performances have been used as tools for expression, healing, communication, and organizing at various community centers, festivals, high schools, universities, and indigenous ceremonies. In Lak Ech utilizes words to bring awareness and empowerment to the issues of women, family, humanity, and mother earth. As a result, In Lak Ech is the seed that has inspired creative women circles such as Mujeres de Maiz. The collectives have become a significant presence particularly in East Los Angeles through art shows, performances, and organizing efforts including magazines and recordings for the Peace and Dignity CD compilation on the Xican@ Records and Film label. In Lak Ech's newest project is the creation and premiere of their first spoken word and music CD recently released in August of 2007. "Mujeres con Palabra" is NOW AVAILABLE at www.inlakech.net Pick up the new In Lak Ech CD "Mujeres Con Palabra", packaged in a beautiful codex style digipak & booklet, featuring 6 Xicana poets and their art and palabras.
