The banner for Comparsa Colombiana La Cumbiamba sagged as it approached that morning.

A large band played on the float which followed the banner. Some of the band just played while others played and sang.

The band also included drums and other instruments that created a loud rhythm.

A man, dress as a stylized tiger, lead the dancers as the contingent moved along the street.

A man who played an electric guitar also sang on the float.

A woman danced at the back of the float. She was decked out in an elaborate costume.

Two lines of women danced away from each other and outward toward the audience on the sidewalks.

After visiting the audience, the two lines of women returned to face each other in the center of the road.

A man wearing clown white on his face (with rosy cheeks) led the dancers along the street.

The dancers utilized skirts with great effect as they walked along the street.

The design on the blouse part of the costume matched exactly the material used to construct the skirt.

Women dressed in elaborate dresses of different colors followed the dancers. Here, red led blue.

Men also danced as part of this group. The men used hats as props while dancing.
