Danza del Toro de Petate, August 10

A traditional dance laced with other rituals. The Afro-Mestizos of this area perform this sexually explicit costumed dance that centers around the devil and his wife la diabla. A bull is captured, slaughtered, and the pieces distributed to the celebrants. These slides document the dance, costumes and other traditions associated with this festival.
