An Evening of Traditional Music Presented by Ana Nitmar

This show will be another opportunity to exhibit the cultural richness of Guatemala during the christmas season. In all small villages and cities an ancestral manifestation of joy is revived every year in December. This is a month of many celebrations, dances, songs, music and the warmth of a unique holiday tradition.

Come prepared to sing dance and share the holiday joy!

Looking for Participants

I am looking for individuals and artists who are willing to exhibit their treasured nativity scenes or crèches. The Nativities will be displayed to the public from December 11 to 13 at Berkeley’s La Peña Cultural Center.
Your miniature exhibit can be an elaborate one, or a simple child-like expression. It can be ceramic made, porcelain, wood, tin, soap, chocolate, wood shavings, cookies, coal, mud, ground cinnamon bark, or others. If you are interested in participating please contact me by email at:

I am anticipating the growth of this event, and its development into a yearly tradition. I am extremely proud to prepare it and present it as a Christmas gift to our community and to all those who attend.
