Background notes
Archive material and source history
Mictlayotl formed in 1995 at the National Autonomous University of Mexico. The band's name comes from an Aztec deity associated with the underworld, which hints at their interest in pre-Columbian mythology.
Their song "Coatlicue" came out in 2001 with lyrics by frontman Salvador Carrillo. The track became well-known for addressing colonialism and cultural erasure. Other songs in their catalog include "Ehecatl," "Metztli," "Mictlantecuhtli," and "Quetzalcoatl."
Their music pulls from traditional Mexican rhythms, rock, and folk elements. The band has drawn listeners both in Mexico and internationally, though their work has sometimes sparked debate.
