Cencerro. Aruchicos dress
The poncho and the Cencerro are two of the tools to dance an ARUCHICO. The oldest folkloric dancers in our Andes.
There are 6 belts in the upper part and 12 belts in the lower part of a cow skin carcass connected to their shoulders.
These dancers remember us the old dancers of the Inti Raymi feast. Much older than the Spanish conquistadores came. Later on, they include the zamarro or a second pant made of sheep or goat cus the cold of the atmosphere. This happens mainly at the province of Pichincha and Imbabura wich capitals are Quito and Ibarra during Saint John and Saint Peter Holidays. They play the guitar a mask and wear a hat with ribbons.
The noisy bells are very melodic unique.
This elements represent the good shaman's priests and the good spirits. The noisy bells scare the bad spirits from the area.
