Request from TRIBU, Mexico City

[HJVsqzIMIS at aol.com]

Greetings,

     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.
     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.
     The members of Tribu are really nice, humble, very friendly guys. Muy 
buena gente.   I hope that Alejandro recovers quickly and completely.

                                                                      Many 
Blessings,
                                                                      Henry 
Vasquez
