Young street artist paints mural as a tribute to ‘Mamá Coco’ in Guanajuato

Ezra is a young graffiti artist who created a mural dedicated to María Salud Ramírez Caballero, better known as Mamá Coco, after she passed away on October 16 at the age of 109.

(Excelsior).- Through social networks, the urban artist published his work on a wall of the DIF funeral home in Silao, Guanajuato.

“Let’s not let this beautiful tradition die, nor this beautiful movie (…). Tribute to Mamá COCO 1913-2022,” he wrote in two posts on Instagram.

In the mural he made, you can see the birth and death dates of Mamá Coco, who was originally from the community of Santa Fe de la Laguna, in Michoacán.

In addition, two images can be seen: one of the Disney character, presumably inspired by María Salud: Mamá Coco, in life; the other, in which the skeletons of Mamá Coco and Héctor, her father, are embraced.

Ezra’s work has been well received by his followers, who also remembered the Disney movie Coco, as well as the woman who passed away a few days ago and who in life, after becoming famous, received visitors in her home.
