Pasatono is a group made up of musician-researchers dedicated to the dissemination, performance, and research of traditional Mixtec music. The group's origin dates back to the presentation of the phonogram Ñuu Savi, Música tradicional de la Mixteca. Vol. 1, which took place on September 4, 1998, at the National School of Music, where Patricia García, Rubén Luengas, and Edgar Serralde came together for the first time to perform traditional Mixtec music.
Since then, they have given concerts, courses, workshops, and lectures in various spaces in Mexico and the United States, notably: the University of Boulder in Colorado, the "La Raza" Cultural Center in San Diego, the University of California, Los Angeles, Lincoln Center, the Metropolitan Museum, the National Museum of the American Indian in New York, the auditorium of the Banamex Cultural Center, the Oaxacan Writers Society, the Society for the Defense of Mexico's Artistic Treasure, the Graphic Arts Institute of Oaxaca (IAGO), the Museum of Contemporary Art of Oaxaca (MACO), the Santo Domingo Cultural Center, the Technological University of the Mixteca, the first performing arts showcase Mexico Gateway to the Americas at the Teatro de las Artes, the Isidro Fabela IMC Cultural Center, the José Martí Cultural Center, the Mixtec culture festivals in Huajuapan de León, Oaxaca, and in various communities of the Mixtec region.
The proposal of the Pasatono group as artists, Mixtecs, and Oaxacans is to play with sound material, understand it, respect it, and recreate it, cohabiting in the realms of tradition and creative proposal.
