Zoyuco

Zuyuco

This dance is traditionally performed to celebrate the construction of a new set of traditional musical instruments: the maguaré.

These instruments are drums higher than a person, which are usually played by hitting them with a pair of rubber mallets.

These dances, which are usually accompanied by songs, originally had an acculturating function.

Traditional chants spoke of methods of obtaining basic resources, such as honey, fire or fruit. Today, it is considered exclusively a recreational dance.
