by revistacalachero

"El Güegüense' or 'Macho Raton' is a satirical drama well known throughout Nicaragua, which is performed each year from 17 to 27 January during the feast of San Sebastián*, patron saint of the city of Diriamba in Nicaragua’s Carazo province. El Güegüense, a synthesis of Indigenous and Spanish cultures combining theatre, dance and music, is considered one of Latin America’s most distinctive colonial-era expressions.
