Nican Mopohua

The Cantico Ladies are in rare form and are ready.
We outlined a summer rehearsal schedule
and even welcomed a new member last night.

We are currently working on a new, as-yet-unpublished,
mass setting.

We are also working on a wonderful song
that we found, of all places,
on Youtube!
I've often said that we need to evangelize by use of internet.

Here's a slideshow video
that features a song we are currently learning.
The song is called "Nican Mopohua,"
and is performed in this slideshow video by a group called "Exaudi."

I bet you can't wait to hear it prayerfully perfomed
by El Cantico de la Mujer Latina!




This songs goes back and forth between two langauges:
Spanish and Nahautl.
Nahautl is the indigenous language of St. Juan Diego.

The words, "Nican Mopohua."
are the first words of the document relating the story
of Our Lady of Guadalupe.
The document was originally written in Nahuatl.
