The candle.

El Son de la Bruja is one of the oldest jarocho sones and was born as part of the syncretism between the symbols of America and Europe. El Baile de la bruja (The dance of the Witch) consists of the typical footwork of the sones jarochos, but the level of difficulty is raised: a glass with a lit candle is placed on the head of the dancers.
This being (The Witch) is a reference to the close union that Veracruz has with the magical, mystical and supernatural. It is an entity whose presence is felt throughout Mexico, and in these regions it gains a lot of strength.
There are several versions of the son La Bruja. Each version contributes to the general meaning, and more than a song to dance, it is a legend. Songs like this, not only warn about the dangers that lurk in the night and teach about good and evil, but also give identity and serve as a reminder of what we are made of. Of stories, myths, mystery, magic, double meaning, dreams and rhythm. They also show the importance of all the knowledge and stories that are transmitted orally, and that, although they probably originate in more traditional communities, in the end they permeate the collective imagination and end up being a sample of the richness of the Mexican culture.

The Veracruz costume is the clothing that most characterizes the state and the origin of these garments comes from the towns that are in the Papaloapan river.
According to the history of the region, the typical costume of Veracruz emerged 3 decades ago, during the celebrations of the Independence of Mexico and the Mexican Revolution,
The jarocha costume is made entirely in the city of Tlacotalpan. The blouse or shirt and the white petticoat is handmade by the hardworking women of the region, magnificent fraying works have always been carried out, since the Jarocho costume requires this manual art.
The head of the Jarocha is crowned with a tortoiseshell comb and a ribbon tied in the shape of a bow, the same color as the rebozo and the ornamental flowers, as well as a bouquet of natural roses that indicate marital status; if she is single it goes on the left side, if she is married on the right side.

El Son Jarocho is a musical expression of colonial origin, rooted in the Sotavento area (part of the states of Oaxaca, Tabasco and Veracruz). Its maximum expression is the traditional festival of the fandango, where music, dance (zapateado) and poetry (song) are combined.
The adjective jarocho indicates its belonging to the Afro-descendant culture in the Mexican Leeward region.
At the beginning of the 19th century, the noun “son” designated any of the country's little sons that included dance in the popular event and contained mestizo stylistic features. Its origin dates back to colonial times, where Spanish, indigenous and African elements were mixed.

The typical costumes of Mexico are the result of a mixture between the indigenous cultures (Aztec and Mayan, among many other ancestral original groups) and Spanish. Each of the outfits is a faithful witness to Mexican folklore.
Typical dances of Jalisco include el son de la negra, la danza de los sonajeros and, especially, el jarabe tapatío. The latter has become the Mexican national dance. All these manifestations are marked by mariachi music, also native to Mexico. In general, these styles show the mixture of the indigenous culture with the one carried by the Spanish conquerors.
The state of Jalisco is part of Mexico, Its name comes from the Nahuatl word “Xalisco”, which means “on the sand”. It is the birthplace of charros, tequila, and mariachi, all traditions that mark the cultural identity of the entire nation. The dances can be divided into sones, jarabes y danzas. The first appears on the coasts during the colonial era, with indigenous and Spanish elements. El jarabe meanwhile, was the most popular throughout the country. According to some theories, it comes from gypsy jarabe and appears at the end of the 17th century. Danzas represent one of the most popular dances. Sometimes the dances are related to religious celebrations.
