Infante from Venezuela
In
Venezuela, we have many festivals in various places
several times a year.
One
party is called the Devils of Yare, and it
is famous for its music that uses only drums, its
traditional dance and red clothing, multicolor
masks, and colorful jewelry.
This
festival is also famous for beautiful costumes and
dancing in the street. It lasts for four days in
February and is celebrated in a small town called
Yare, which is approximately two hours from the
capital Caracas.
It
was orginated by black people, but today it's
celebrated by people of all races. It is also
popular with tourists who come from all over
Venezuela and from different countries.
