Something I'd never seen before, however, were the large horns that were accompanying the drums. (Notice that the musicians are barefoot?) These blast from time to time, as the idol follows. Every so often the party will stop and someone will set off fireworks. The ones depicted here are merely large Roman candles, but people have access to all sorts of fiery, shooting, booming devices that light up the skies. |
When an immersion parade passes by, it is often led by troupes of sweating young men, feverishly beating on drums with all their might. These are easily audible in the house, and often keep the kids (and even parents) awake.
