about

"During a day of labour in the sugar cane fields, a black slave kid is bit by a viper. Without any knowledge of a cure, all the fellow workers, africans, indians and metis gather and begin an ancient ritual, which consists in dancing 24 sones, hoping that the boy will heal."

Extract from the legend of the Danza de los Negritos de la Sierra.


El baile de los negritos de la sierra represents a blend of culture carried by the arriving of the African slaves in the region, and their encounter with the local communities, Totonacs, Metis and Spanish.
