Danza Azteca Yolihuani (Fuente de Vida) 
www.danzaazteca.org 
Danza Azteca Yolihuani, also known as Fuente de Vida, is a group that performs traditional Aztec dances in the Seattle area. These performances often include live pre-Hispanic music, dance stories symbolic of nature, and explanations of the dance stories. The group also showcases traditional regalia, including elaborate headdresses, and encourages audience participation.

D'LuJo Band
https://dlujoband.com/

This band is musicians from Mexico, Honduras, and the Philippines/Spain, uniting diverse cultural influences into one unforgettable musical experience. The performances blend Latin Rock & Pop from the ’80s, ’90s, and 2000s, delivering a versatile style that flows seamlessly from smooth and relaxed to upbeat and dance-driven. The repertoire spans Cumbia, Tex-Mex, and beyond—and honor the legacy of two of the greatest Mexican rock bands through our powerful tributes - Selva Negra (Maná Tribute), Elefante Tribute, and the signature fusion show: ManaFante.

In addition to these Latin classics, they celebrate the timeless music of Carlos Santana and bring to life a selection of English rock and pop hits by iconic artists like Depeche Mode, Billy Idol, Bon Jovi, and Guns N’ Roses. Many of these songs have been reimagined in Spanish and bilingual versions, creating a dynamic and inclusive show that resonates with Hispanic/Latino audiences as well as English-speaking fans.

What is the Loteria Game?

Lotería is a traditional Mexican game of chance, similar to bingo. Instead of numbers, it uses a deck of cards with images. Each player has a board (tabla) with a grid of these images. The caller (cantor) draws cards from the deck and announces them, often with a rhyme or phrase. Players mark the corresponding images on their boards, and the first to complete a row, column, or other agreed-upon pattern shouts “¡Lotería!” to win.
