Resonance
AMLO is visiting a fiesta in Oaxaca. These folks don't have a lot of material wealth, but they know how to MAKE sensory wealth. Spanish speakers use resonant singing mode for ordinary speech. They MAKE beauty and color.
It's a stark contrast to the monochrome world of the North, especially in winter. Black and white and gray. Everyone dresses in black and white and gray, cars are black and white and gray, houses are brown and white and gray, the landscape is black and white and gray. We speak in nonresonant glottal fry.
