In a Mexican village located on the coast of Oaxaca local women traditionally prepare tamales for a birthday celebration\r
The woman whose birthday it is works with her daughter in law and her sister in law. In the background you can hear the radio intermixed with sounds of the campo including children doing their English class homework.\r
When new banana leaf is needed, one woman steps from the shelter to harvest some leaves from a banana tree.\r
The chickens to be future tamales scurry the ground.\r
As the birthday woman continues to assemble what will be 500 tamales, her grandson plays mañanitas, the traditional Mexican birthday song on the instrument he is learning in school.
