Question by Madeleine: Trying to find any information on a music video of a dead guy?
A man is in a house full of people. None of them notice him. They are all dressed in black. The man is dressed in an elaborate suit kind of antique looking. A little blonde girl notices him. He whispers to her (the audience does not hear what he says). She goes to the man’s body which is laying on a table with a white cloth over it. She pulls from his hand a note which says the name of the one who killed the man. The video does not really seen to have anything to do with what the song is about. The video is rather recent. I don’t know any of the lyrics or who the band is or the title of the song. Please help. Thanks

The Day of the Dead is a celebration seeped in tradition and symbols. The ofrenda is one such tradition that remains a pivotal part of the day's festivities. The Spanish word "ofrenda" translates as "offering", and ofrendas resemble alters or shrines which are dedicated to the dead. They are usually set up in homes and are left out as a welcoming gesture for the deceased, whose yearly visits to the living occur on this night. Ofrendas are come in many shapes and sizes, from simple presentations to elaborate spreads. They are usually prepared on a table which has been covered by a fine, white tablecloth. Tissue paper with designs cut into it, called papel picado, are then set over the cloth. There are many components to ofrendas. For each deceased relative, a candle is set out and lit so that the light can guide the spirits on their way back to earth. Flowers are also placed on the ofrenda, to represent the ephemeral quality of life. Salt and water quench the thirst of the souls and water purifies and cleanses them.
