Ecuadorian Folkloric Performance
Ecuadoran folkloric dancers in Quito.
The most striking feature of their attire is the heavy, shaggy white chaps worn over their trousers. These are known as zamarras, traditionally made from goat or llama hide, worn by highland horsemen and characters in various indigenous festivals across the Pichincha and Imbabura provinces. The Ponchos & Instruments: They are wearing classic handwoven Andean striped ponchos, patterned belts (chumbis), and traditional brimmed hats. On the right, a musician beats a large traditional Andean drum (bombo).
