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.

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..."

It was no time for gaiety, for a dire fate already had befallen the Aztec capital a few hundred miles away. The pale-face ‘guests’ had come on a mission of peace. Four hundred years have passed since that fateful time. Again in 1965 the Tarascans were invaded by foreigners: this time, however, they were friendly ones, in search of music..."

"Cuando los españoles llegaron a Tzintzuntzan, la antigua capital del pueblo Tarascan, fueron entretenidos, según nos cuentas los valiosísimos cronistas españoles del siglo XVI, por una prolongada celebración en la cual escucharon danzas y canciones ‘suficientemente tristes como para haber subido del mismo infierno.’ ¡No era para menos! No eran tiempos para alegrías, porque una funesta ruina acababa de golpear en la capital azteca a solo unas millas de distancia. Los ‘invitados’ de piel clara habían venido en una misión de paz. Cuatrocientos años han pasado desde aquellos fatídicos días. Una vez más, en 1965, los tarascan fueron invadidos por extranjeros: esta vez, sin embargo, eran amigables y venían en búsqueda de su música..."
