Description:The recording is a mix of many genres of speech. There is dialogue, history, personal narrative, ritual speech, and social commentary. GRS speaks about being a mayordomo, which is a steward of the festival of the village. He gives an example of a ritual speech the mayordomo gives to the helpers. He explains the preparations for the festival over the course of the year, including food, drink, music, decorations, and games. There is discussion of religion and the duties of the mayordomo and how he should behave. The group discusses how things are different now and many of the nice traditions are being lost. Nowadays, the main attraction is the rodeo, which is dangerous. GRS tells how he acquired the mezcal for the festival. They speak about drunkenness in the festival. There is discussion about the weather, the current lack of rain and the heat. This is a huge problem since it hurts the maize crop, which is the basis of life. Near the end many hens begin clucking, which becomes loud.
