Ocomicho is a small Purepecha village where they work clay into some of the most interesting figures and scenes. They are known for their devils and other unique presentations. During a visit to the village my brother Jim and I were able to film the Carnival celebration. There are obviously two types of costumes the day to day and Gala.
