Desc: Jalmá: Directed by Fernando A. de la Rosa. With Delfina Albañez, Norma Meza Calles, Juan Aguiar Emes, Stanley Rodríguez. Music and dances are perhaps the most characteristic traits of the Yuman communities. Cyclical chants accompanied by the sound of a rattle or jalmá, executed by one or more singers in unison, among a variety of moves and other symbols that determine rituals with specific meanings; from the funeral ceremonies of the Takei Kna, to the Kuri festive dances.
