Marinera
August 17, 2006
No effects or filters applied.

Probably the most elegant and popular dance in Peru, the Marinera borrows elements from African,
Spanish and native cultures. The man wears a black or white suit, a wide-brimmed straw hat, a poncho
and he grasps a handkerchief in one hand. The woman, also holding a handkerchief, is barefoot and wears
a beautiful two-píece lace Moche dress adorned with ribbons with an ample skirt which she waves during
the dance. The couple evolves in a complex coreography of synchronized sequences as a brass band plays.
