Los Indianos (La Palma)
The Indian palm represents the immigrant, who after making a fortune in Cuba,returned to the archipelago by clear display of his acquired wealth, representing a personal triumph with the backwardness of the peasantry canary of the time.
Today the party of the Indians held on Carnival Monday, simulating the landing of immigrants in the harbor, dressed in the traditional Indian attire (white rigorousCaribbean and Panama hats ”), to then begin the battle with powder To the soundof Cuban music.
The origin of the custom of playing and battling with talcum powder is not entirely clear. It is believed that after the abandonment of a lot of flour in poor condition at the port of La Palma, residents used it as a perfect toy for jokes so characteristic ofcarnival day.
Enjoy this unique experience around the world!
