Warekes - La PALOMA
La PALOMA is a traditional "gaita de tambora" from the towns around Lake Maracaibo in el Zulia, Venezuela. It, like other gaitas de tambora, are traditionally played around San Benito's feast day, given the saint's important role in the local Afro-Venezuelan cult. As part of the New Folklore without Borders, we wanted to share this part of our traditions with friends, as we reimagine our roots in a new context.
La PALOMA es una gaita de tambora tradicional de los pueblos al sur del lago Maracaibo en el Zulia, Venezuela. Esta, como toda gaita de tambora, típicamente se toca en las fiestas patronales de San Benito, debido a la importancia del santo en los cultos afrovenezolanos locales. Como parte del Nuevo Folklore sin Fronteras, queremos compartir esta tradición con amigos, reimaginada a nuestro nuevo contexto.
