Cultural Arts Traditions

Culture is dynamic and contemporary, changed by politics, technology, and the way of life. However, the cultural traditons that are found in food, clothing, home decor, music and handcrafts are often centuries old. Today, the ingredients for mole may be packaged, but the roots and technique for making mole are ancient, and families have passed their recipes down through generations. 

Tres Rebecas is all about finding the story behind every tradition. As this web site grows, I hope to share the stories behind the things you find at Tres Rebecas.
