  8. This dance comes from the Incan times when the Spanish were in the midst of conquering all. Incas used the dance to mock the Spanish. Today, the dance has become an annual celebration at the Carnaval de Oruro, a carnival celebration in one of the Bolivian departments.

  12. Puerto Rico – El Vejigante • Vejigante is an amalgamation of two Spanish words: vejiga, or cow bladder, and gigante, or giant. The name refers to the vejigas that the characters carry with them. The bladder, which is dried, inflated, filled with seeds and painted, is the trusty weapon of the vejigante. During the Ponce Carnival, the largest cultural event in Puerto Rico and an annual stage for the vejigante to strut his stuff, the characters will happily walk among the crowds, chanting, singing, and whacking random passersby with their vejigas. (Don't worry, this is not a violent or painful experience ... at least, it's not meant to be!) The banter between vejigantes and the crowds is all part of the fun.
