La church Santiago Apostle, and Nurio, Michoacán, performed by the llamas on March 7, tenia in its techo sotocoro not only a work of great aesthetic beauty, also a document on the conception of a theocentric universe, is said, in that God is the center of the Universe, and tenía además the existence of three types of music: the world, associated with the divine; the human, related to the alma mater, and the instrumentalis, the real music, produced by string instruments, wind and human voice. It was one of the oldest ancient societies in existence in the country.
Así lo established doctor and Historia, Antonio Ruiz Caballero, one of the studies of this church that, despite the fire, has established a “total practice” measure, according to the Secretary of Culture, Alejandra Frausto, pues sólo quedaron los muros de piedra y la fachada de la iglesia del siglo XVII. Until now, local and federal authorities will continue to rule and no cases will be established. The Agroasemex insurer has a first inspection, which the negotiations have begun.
In respect, Frausto states that, as can be seen in the images he circulated in social speeches, the loss of sotocoro, which, according to Ruiz Caballero, is one of the most ancient of the countries, is total.

“The community is working with the INAH. It is safe to do a revision. The loss of the walls is total.

What was the loss?
Antonio Ruiz Caballero, Professor of Scientific Research in the National School of Anthropology and History, author of the study “The Music of the Universe in a Novo Hispanic Sootocor: Music, Angels and Neoplatonic Tradition in the Temple of Santiago Nurio, Michoacán, Sail XVII”, published in the Book of Music and Culture in the New Spain y el Mexico Independent: testimonials of innovation and survival (Institute of Aesthetic Investigations. UNAM, 2017), statement:
“In Michoacán there are various churches that have these types of wood that are known to have different numbers as artesons or artesonados, in this case you have sotocoro for it in the place where it is established. In principle, it has to have a large import Aesthetics, if they are preserved in a modern sense, are inviolable in their beauty. In this sense, especially the sotocoro of Nurío porque in the region the mayor part of the arts that are preserved -y that the architect Manuel González Galván, one of the first studios of these artifacts, the definition as’ historical artifacts’-, contains a history. The great majority has an invoice that we can classify as popular and have the numbers of the painters, for which it is clear that its paintings are indigenous to the region “.
In the case of Nurío’s sotocoro, anade, so it is not very clear that the number of paintings is known, but it was created that was made “by artifacts formed in a cult tradition”. However, without embarrassment, there are no references to reports that were made by creepy, Spanish artists and masters formed in an academic tradition.
“In Michoacán, there are churches with these tacos, such as artisans, such as sotocoro, of innegable beauty,” Antonio Ruiz Caballero, Historian.

“Nurío responds to a more complex visual program, has very deep visions that come from the Edad Media and that we can support in neoplatonic conception, that is, the recovery and rehabilitation of the philosopher’s ideas Plato, in the context of Christianity. Había, about everything, the ideas of neoplatonism that I think are behind this visual program. The first is the conception of a theocentric universe, that is to say, God is the center of the Universe, and it is clearly represented in the sotocoro because the first thing we see when we enter is a painful generation that has the shape of the sun “, says Ruiz Caballero .
This center, aggregate, was erected by the choirs of the angels. “The angels are more ally of the sol eran musicians and in the neoplatonic conception, the angels and the archangels are the ones who have an inferior jerky between the angelic figures, so that the podium enters into direct contact with the human beings”, dice.
El sotocoro también tenía a los tres archangels more known, Miguel, Rafael and Gabriel; as well as Mary Magdalene. Además, tenia the retreat of the bishop who creates that fue the patroness of the work, Francisco de Aguiar and Seijas. For this you can close the church in 1681.

The second neoplatonic idea, referring to the historian, is that in this universe the existence of three types of music is known: the world, it is said, the music of the universe that was produced when the astronomers are moving and generating sounds that are human do not listen and be associated with the divine; the human, an interior music of the human, associated with alma mater; and the instrumentalis, the real, concrete music that the human beings listen to and that were produced by instruments of instruments, wind and human voice.
“It is clearly expressed in the visual program of the sotocoro. In a way that is in addition to the aesthetic vision, the beautiful enigma, there is an importance cultural very important. It is really important to have como in a sotocoro of an indigenous population, of the indigenous Sierra de Michoacán, estaban plasmados deep theological concepts, of neoplatonic derivation. The studios of the novice artisan have seen these conceptions as well as the beginnings of literary and visual works like this sotocoro “, indicates the specialist.
