blood.

WHEN MESTIZO FIRST APPEARED

Columbus landed in what is know as Mexico and

called in America. He called the native people

Indians.

CULTURE

The guitar is a typical musical instrument played

by the Mestizo people. It is often used for something

called Serenata in which a lover would sing at the

window of his beloved one. It was said that this

Serenata would bring about the marriage of the

couple. Serenata is now only famous in Spanish-

speaking countries

CULTURE (CONTINUED)

people. The kitchen (left) is usually made with

thatch. A typical Mestizo (right) cooks tortilla.
