00:00Imagine a small town. The year is 1810. It is a long, long time ago. Mexico was not yet Mexico.
00:10It was a land ruled by Spain far across the ocean. The people were not happy. They wanted to be free.
00:16They wanted to make their own decisions and build their own country. But who would lead them? Who
00:20would be brave enough to stand up and say, enough is enough? It is a very scary thing to challenge
00:26a powerful king. You need a lot of courage. It is like when you have to tell your friend that you
00:31shrunk her favorite dress. You know something big is about to happen and it might not be pretty.
00:37The hero of our story is a priest. His name was Miguel Hidalgo. He was a priest in a small church
00:43in the town of Dolores. He was not just a man of God. He was a man of the people. He saw their
00:48struggle every single day. He heard their quiet wishes for freedom. So on the morning of September
00:5416th, he did something amazing. He did not give a normal sermon. Oh no. He went up to the church
00:59tower and began to ring the bell. Ding dong ding dong. It was not a call for prayer. It was a call
01:05to fight. It was a sound that would change everything forever. The people heard the bell. They came
01:11running to the church. What was happening? Was there a fire? They gathered in the plaza, confused and
01:16curious. Then Father Hidalgo stood before them. He gave a famous speech. We call it the grito de
01:22Dolores. The cry of Dolores. He shouted for independence. He shouted for liberty. He shouted
01:27for an end to bad government. His words were like a spark. They landed in the hearts of the people,
01:33which were like dry fields ready to catch fire. This was the moment. This was the beginning of
01:38the long, hard fight for Mexico's freedom. That single ring of a small church bell started a war that
01:43lasted for over 10 years. It was a sound that echoed from the small town of Dolores all the way to the
01:49capital. It told everyone that the time for being quiet was over. The time for action had arrived. It
01:55was the first. Viva Mexico. Even if the words were a little different back then. It was a cry from the
02:01heart. A cry for a new nation to be born. It all started with one brave priest and the loud, clear sound
02:08of a bell that refused to be ignored. It's like when you finally find the remote control after searching
02:13for hours. Pure victory. Now let's fast forward to today, September 16th, 2025. The tradition that
02:23Father Hidalgo started is still very much alive. It is bigger and louder than ever. Every year on the
02:29night of September 15th, we get ready for the big moment. The president of Mexico becomes our modern day
02:34Hidalgo. But instead of a small church, he stands on the grand balcony of the national palace in Mexico
02:40City. This palace is in the Zocalo, a huge, huge square. And this square is not empty. It is filled
02:47with hundreds of thousands of people, all waiting for one thing. It's more crowded than a big family
02:52dinner. The president does not just say hello. He continues the tradition. He rings a very special
02:57bell. The same bell that Father Hidalgo rang all those years ago. Yes, they moved it to the palace.
03:03He rings it with all his might. Then he leans into the microphone and gives the grito. He shouts the
03:09names of the heroes who gave us our homeland. And then he shouts the most important words of the
03:13night. He yells, Viva Mexico! Viva Mexico! Viva Mexico! Three times. Each time, the massive crowd
03:21in the Zocalo roars back, Viva! It is a sound so powerful it gives you goosebumps. This is not just
03:27happening in Mexico City. Oh no, this is Mexico. We love a good party. All across the country, in every
03:32state, in every city, in every little town, the same thing happens. The governor or the mayor comes out
03:38onto a balcony. They ring a bell. They give their own grito. From Tijuana to Cancun, the entire country
03:43shouts together at the same time. It connects us all. It does not matter if you are rich or poor or
03:49if your favorite soccer team is one or the other. On this night, we are all just Mexicans united by
03:55this powerful shout. And the shout is not just a shout. It is a promise. It is a reminder. It reminds us
04:01of the fight for our freedom. It honors the people who died for it. It is us today, telling the heroes of
04:07the past. We remember you. Your sacrifice was not for nothing. We are still here. And we are proud
04:13when the president shouts, Viva Mexico! It means long live Mexico. It is a wish, a cheer, and a
04:20declaration all in one. It is the sound of a nation's heart beating with pride and joy. It's better than
04:26getting the last slice of cake.
04:31After the grito, the party really begins. And let me tell you, nobody celebrates like we do. The sky
04:38explodes with color. Fireworks whistle and bang, lighting up the night. It looks like a giant piñata
04:43has burst open in the heavens, showering us all with light and happiness. The air fills with music.
04:48Mariachi bands play their trumpets and violins. Bands play cumbia and norteno music in the town squares.
04:55People start dancing right there in the street. You grab a partner, maybe a stranger, and you just
05:00dance. There is no being shy on Independence Day. Everywhere you look, you see the colors of our flag,
05:06green, white, and red. People wave giant flags. Little kids wave small flags. People paint the flag on
05:13their faces. They wear big sombreros decorated with the national colors. The streets, the buildings,
05:19the cars. Everything is covered in green, white, and red. It is like the whole country puts on its
05:25best party outfit. It is a beautiful sight. It shows the world, and it shows ourselves,
05:30how much we love our country. It is a visual fiesta, a feast for the eyes. It's like when my family
05:37tries to coordinate outfits. A lot of enthusiasm and very, very colorful. Of course, what is a Mexican
05:43party without food? It is simply not possible. On this day, the kitchens and the street stalls are
05:48working overtime. The air smells delicious. You can smell pozole, a rich soup with hominy and pork.
05:55You can smell tamales steaming in their husks. There are tostadas, enchiladas, and a special dish
06:00called chiles and nogada. This dish is amazing because it has the colors of the flag green chili,
06:05white walnut sauce, and red pomegranate seeds. Eating it is like eating a piece of Mexican history. It's so
06:12good it makes you want to cry with joy. The celebration is for everyone. Families come out
06:16together. Grandparents, parents, and little children all gather in the plazas. Friends meet
06:21up and share food and laughter. It is a day of unity. The feeling in the air is electric. It is pure
06:27happiness and pride. People sing the national anthem with so much passion. It is a day when we forget our
06:33everyday problems. We are not just individuals anymore. We are one big family of millions of people,
06:38all celebrating the simple wonderful fact of being Mexican. It is a feeling of belonging that warms you
06:44from the inside out. So this day is more than just a big party with fireworks and amazing food.
06:53It is so much more. It is about our identity. It is about who we are as a people. Think about it.
07:00Before 1810 we were New Spain. After we started the journey to become Mexico. This day marks the birthday of
07:06that idea. It is the day we decided to be ourselves. It is like when a child grows up and says,
07:12I will make my own choices now. It is a day of deep meaning for every single one of us.
07:17It is the story of our beginning. A story we tell our children. This celebration is a powerful thread
07:23that connects us all. It does not matter if you live in a big city in Mexico or a small village in
07:28the mountains. It does not matter if you live in Los Angeles, Chicago, or anywhere else in the world.
07:33When you hear the Greedo, you feel a connection to your roots, to your family, to your culture. It is
07:39a reminder that we share a history of courage and a future of hope. This shared feeling of pride is a
07:45source of great strength for our communities both inside and outside of Mexico. It makes us feel like
07:50we are part of something bigger than ourselves. The feeling on Independence Day is one of pure,
07:55unfiltered pride. It is the pride of a culture that has given so much to the world. Art, music,
08:02food, and hardworking people. It is pride in our resilience, our ability to face challenges with
08:07a smile and a strong spirit. When we wave our flag, we are not just waving a piece of cloth.
08:12We are waving our history, our struggles, our triumphs, and our dreams. It is a symbol of our
08:17freedom and our unbreakable spirit. It's a feeling that makes your chest swell up like you just told
08:21a really good joke and everyone laughed. In the end, Mexican Independence Day is the soul of Mexico on
08:27full display. It is loud, it is colorful, it is full of flavor, and it is overflowing with heart.
08:33It is a beautiful reminder that freedom is not just a word, it is an action, a struggle,
08:38and a continuous celebration. It is the day we all shout together, with all our strength and all our
08:43love. Viva Mexico! And in that shout, we reaffirm who we are, where we come from, and the bright future
08:50we are building together. It is the most important day of the year, because it is the day we celebrate
08:55being us. And that is always worth a fiesta.
