The idea of the name Calmeca was taken from the Nahuatl word calmeca ("the house of the lineage", it was a school for the children of Aztec nobility in the Late Postclassic period of Mesoamerican history, where they would receive rigorous religious and military training.
Calmeca members have been involved in Hip Hop (breakdancing, graffiti, djing and emceeing) for over 15 years. Presently they remain involved in activist activities and organizations that involve collaborations with indigenous traditions and urban hip hop culture. The song "Para Ellos" is a song which involves the collaboration of actors, visual artist, and the visually impaired choir.
The superior knowledge of the most elevated parts of the culture were transmitted through art, dance, music, and song. We are Calmeca. We transmit this ancient knowledge through Hip Hop.Tiahui!!
