Model of yaqui dancers

Description

Representative model in which you can see: a Venado dancer; three Pascolas; a tambulero (drum and flute player); a musician playing the harp; another playing a violin; two with scrapers; and one more with a water drum (Ba'a bweja). The representation made in this model is merely expository, since in reality its elements interact at different times, as an example: when the Ba'a bweja is being played, the harp and violin are at rest. Another difference from reality is when the Pascolas "play" with the Deer, because they do it without the mask on, because they are under the protection of the Moor.

The dancers and musicians seen in the model celebrate two of the most important dances of the Yaqui tribe: Venado and Pascola; These are of pre-Hispanic origin and are performed on traditional festival days.
