One year after the Uvalde school shooting, a Texas artist is using his talents to help the community find healing through culture.
"As soon as I we drove in, I just knew that journalism was going to hit a certain point as far as telling the story," Ortiz said."As an artist, it was up to me to like, figure out what, you know, how do I document this?""I was just writing every single thing that I experienced there," Ortiz said.
"El Corrido de los Angeles de Uvalde," which translates to The Angels of Uvalde, is of sorts a prayer of loss. "When stuff like that happens, you know, you're kind of numb to it because you're kind of in shock. And we put this together, and then I guess it's sort of a healing kind of thing, right," Velásquez said.In the Mexican culture, mariachis are hired to be part of many celebrations including during the most difficult times.
