Kukeri on YouTube

These are for the beginning of Lent

Anna was specifically upset that ethnographers had said "They drive out evil spirits" and that now the people doing it will say that is what it is. When there is more to it, and people forget because they have this approved catch phrase to use.

Androgynous (the mixed sex nature of costume was pointed out to us in Voinyagovo, hard to see in these clips, though the dancers themselves are all men) large wild things at the beginning of Spring stomping the earth in a rhythmic dance with powerful bells on.

Seems to be a general danger - o this does 'x', that is what it is for, we can just do something to do 'x'. Well it also does 'b', 'g', 'q', and 'z' -- by focusing prematurely on 'x' (and passing on that as IT), you're in much danger of losing the other parts. Especially if you make changes based on this or "preserve" just this.
