Born in Mexico City, Brujo de la Mancha a multidisciplinary, self-taught artist. Came from a family that included both Spanish and Mexican Indigenous ancestry. His paternal grandmother who spoke Nahuatl, Tojolobal, and Spanish was tremendously influential in his development as a tradition-bearer. He grew up believing and experiencing independent thinking, realizing that people are rich in resourcefulness in their own power for self-control. He move to Philadelphia, on 2/1998, where I have joined the diversity of lives and cultural exchanges of this city. Today he serves as artistic director of Ollin Yoliztli Calmecac, a Philadelphia-based organization which works to reclaim Mexicayotl as a living culture
