Festival Artist, Antonio Sarabia has created the beautiful logo for DUF 2016 “El Corazón del Pueblo” featuring a masked-dancer, a Chinelo, from the state of Morelos. The artwork will grace every print element of our festival and the visual serves perfectly to convey the welcome that the folklorico community in the city of Los Angeles has afforded to the Danzantes Unidos community. The full color logo will be unmasked at next weekend’s festival.

It is our good fortune that the dancer featured in this year’s logo will be brought to life thanks to the participation of DUF Maestro, Jose Vences (originally from the State of Morelos) and his company, Grandeza Mexicana to bring an official welcome from Los Angeles to every participant at DUF 2016.
