Baile de las Canastas (Dance of the Baskets) celebrates the change from a semi-nomadic hunters’ society to an agricultural civilization. Today it is performed as a series of set scenes using masks, dance, music, dialogue, and mime. The performance takes its name from the tall baskets worn by the dancers.
Producido y grabado por Henrietta Yurchenco. El Rabinal Achi es uno de los pocos textos literarios precolombinos que sobrevivió a la Conquista, una historia de proporciones épicas que, como otros dramas prehispánicos, emplea canciones, danza, mímica, máscaras y declamación.
El baile de las canastas, por su parte, celebra el cambio de una sociedad de cazadores seminómadas a una civilización basada en la agricultura. Está compuesto por una serie de escenas que emplean máscaras, música, danza, y diálogos. El baile toma su nombre de las canastas que usan en la cabeza los participantes.

Living on the eastern coast of Honduras and Nicaragua that faces the Caribbean Ocean in a territory named after them, the Miskito have developed a way of life directly linked to their reliance on the abundant wildlife that inhabits the rivers and ocean as well as the land that they cultivate in the tropical forest and clearing in the interior...."

"Contactados por primera vez por Colón en su cuarto y último viaje en 1502, los Miskito han sido capaces de mantener su cultura a pesar del influjo de una gran variedad de grupos étnicos a través de la absorción y la integración de los recién llegados dentro de su sociedad. Los Miskito viven en la costa occidental de Honduras y Nicaragua que da sobre el mar Caribe, en un territorio que toma su nombre de la misma tribu, y han desarrollado una manera de vida directamente ligada a la abundancia de vida salvaje que habita los ríos y el océano, a la vez que cultivan en sus tierras dentro del bosque tropical o en las praderas del interior..."
