CHANÉ MASKS

When the mountain is covered with yellow taperiguá flowers, The Chané begin the celebration of Arete Guazú, the true party or The True Time. The aña aña arising from the yuchán flood the earth invoking the spirits of the ancients. The jaguar and the bull fight on the last day, before the "burial" and the party lasts until the taperiguá flowers wither and a river of masks runs through the thicket. The mask makers of Campo Durán know it… in each mask lives an ancestral force.
