This is probably the most beautifull tombstone that i have ever seen in my life, the history behind is centenlly breath taking for me, we are talkig about the place where Jose Alfredo Jimnez is resting right now, i had the oportunity to visit Guanajuato and there surroundings, this beautifull pice of art its located in Dolores Hidalgo.
¿who is him?
Well, Jose Alfredo Jimenez was a mexican musician he was the creator of many mexican classics like la "La media Vuelta".
The thing that makes this tombstone so unique is that the thing that you can see around the Sombrero (hat) is a zarape which has all the song that he ever made, and all the construction its based on one of his song "la media vuelta", all the tombstones are built facing the entrance except except jose's this is because well, as he says in his song (la media vuelta): "Then I will turn around, and I will go with the sun, when the afternoon dies", so the tombstone was placed in front of where the sun hides, suggesting that leaves with him.
i will suggest you to listen this song, and that way all this post will makes sense.
Also if you visit Guanajuato, Mexico dont miss the oportunity to visit this place theres always guides who can explain you all the history behind this beautifull pice of art, have a wonderfull day see u soon.
