Audio text

Welcome to the room of the Moros, also called Arabs.

This cuadrilla brings to the journey the memory of distant cultures, of ancient tales and of movements full of color.

The yellow, the purple, the turbans, the flags, the swords and the bayo horses give the Cuadrillas a luminous presence, from distant lands, from times gone by, of mysterious beings who once arrived and stayed.

The Moros remind us that this tradition is not born of a single history, but of the meeting of many, which the llanero territory understood and made its own.

Their strength is in movement: the cloth that waves, the horse that advances, the color that crosses the plaza.
