Vejigantes (en español)

¿Demonio juguetón? ¿Opositor a la colonización? ¿El colorido primo puertorriqueño de Krampus? Presentamos al Vejigante, un personaje folclórico enmascarado y locamente disfrazado de los días de la conquista española y la esclavitud africana en la Isla del Encanto. Hasta el día de hoy, los Vejigantes hacen su aparición durante dos fiestas principales: el Carnaval y la Fiesta de Santiago.
