Until finally the magician got rid off the drum player but just simply gesturing to him a sign with his arms, sending him away. This dance’s significance was similar to the Puerto Rican History (when Tainos –Puerto Rico’s native Indians- would battle against other Caribbean tribes). Their first performance was with a live duo of singers dressed in white and an amazing dance group. Their movement was pretty slow, even slower than the Sidi Goma. Bright colors, lively music, and a joyful dance were all part of this second performance. They concluded their part with a straight in-line row where they were dancing following some kind of march-like pattern. Two tribes fighting against each other. With no change of costumes like the groups before. Agile and skillful dancers flipped and leaped across the stage. The dance alike the first one also reflected at typical event on the culture of Peru. It seemed that it was about to be concluded when two of the girls held and flipped a rope and the other girls would danced to the -by then, played by drums- beat (jumping the rope). The projections on the dancers faces were reflecting happiness and joy instead of fury or rage.
