 tribal counselors`meeting |
 this earring is called "mamuli" |
 the chicken is to donate its liver to the priest |
 traditional clothes are worn |
 the horses are decorated well |
 and so are the riders |
 ..prepared & waiting.. |
 the minor battlefield on the beach.. |
 ..for a warm-up before the final pasola |
 but there`s already hot-blood cooking! |
 the warm-up has started.. |
 villagers support their riders by screaming |
 it`s like soccer worldcup ! |
 showtime at the good-harvest-festival |
 the atmosphere can change real fast! |
 now re-decoration for the final pasola |
 this guy got a lot of cheerleaders |
 wise spectators look for shelter now! |
