<BR>
For those of you who are acquainted with the musical group TRIBU from Mexico City, their leader Agustín Pimentel sent a message requesting prayers for their member Alejandro Mendez. Alejandro recently suffered some kind of stroke. Agustín described it as brain infarct ("infarto cerebral", in Spanish). Alejandro is hospitalized in the "Hospital de Neuroligía de Tlalpan" (the Tlalpan Neurolgical Hospital). Agustín said that he is better but still hospitalized while they run tests to try to determine the cause of the episode and to learn how to prevent a repeat.<BR>
TRIBU is comprised of four members, outstanding musicians Agustín Pimentel, Alejandro Méndez, his brother David Méndez, and Ramiro Ramírez. They specialize in original music played on authentic Pre-Columbian instruments which they have studied and recreated with amazing detail. They sing parts of the musical pieces, sometimes in Nahuatl and sometimes in Spanish. They have degrees in indigenous studies, music, languages, anthropology, and more. They have recorded about 20 CDs over the course of 25 years. They sometimes travel with family members who dance to some of the musical pieces. They have scheduled to perform in Paris, France in the next few weeks. However, Alejandro most likely will not be able to accompany them.<BR>
The members of Tribu are really nice, humble, very friendly guys. Muy buena gente. I hope that Alejandro recovers quickly and completely.<BR>
<BR>
Many Blessings,<BR>
