Each tribe in Nicaragua organized its own festivities and people would dance accompanied by drums, pipers, and singers. Participants enjoyed themselves so much that the dancing might go on for days.This work was published by Theodor de Bry and is derived from the second part of Girolamo Benzoni, Historia del mondo nuovo, Venice, 1565. Theodor de Bry's America. Pt. 5. Latin. Imprint information from colophon.
