Aztec Dancers in Philadelphia in TV mundial! WPVI-TV 6abc: April 2008
Brujo,

I have the good news!

The station has decided to put my show of TV in the World-wide Network, so that it is possible to be seen anywhere of the world. And they have decided to begin with your program! That is, if you have family or friendly or contacts in Mexico-or in any other part of world-they can see you at any time by television. Please, it shares this information with the other members of Ollin Yoliztli Calmecac and their families and contacts and pídeles to all which they run the voice with this information. It is an honor for me who Panorama can be seen throughout the world; but it is an honor for you who this process has begun with the show of ollin yoliztli calmecac. That is, this will live in history: that first Puerto Rican Panorama in crossing the entire world in the Network has been the Aztec show. : -)

Religion y politica se enfrentan en este largometraje,ofreciendonos una mirada fascinante sobre esta cultura que existio en Mexico siglos antes a la llegada de los epsanoles.
