Mexican Culture Week in Helsinki

Finally the Mexican Embassy here truly put a programme together for Independence Day, and there was a whole week of activities last week related to Mexico and Mexican culture.  They did have the traditional reception for the Mexican community here, but there was also a piano concert, exhibitions of folk dress and art, workshops on Mexican dance, architecture and the experience of Mexicans in Finland, and they even brought a famous Mexican chef here!

There was some interesting cultural exchanges during the period, as the video below of local student choir Ylioppilaslaulajat shows:

I even ended up singing at some point, LOL…   Kudos to the Mexican Embassy, and I hope they organise these kind of events again.
