ABSTRACT
It has no European or African roots whatsoever. This is native. It’s the only festival in Venezuela, and perhaps the world, which is celebrated on just one day only: the 28th of December. And it has no European influence nor any African. It’s native to the indigenous Carib culture, and what’s more, I’d say, to the region of Caicara. Descended from the Chaima, the Guarao, and the Guaiqueri.
