At the Cemetary
The day at the cemetery is a mix of happiness and sadness. As for the previous days, there are still the marimba's players, alcohol, food, and the firecrackers with a deafening thunderclap. However, there is also the sadness of the people who lost a loved one, and who mourn them with cries, chants, or lamentations.
The lady, on the adjacent photo, sings lamentations to a loved one. Watch the video to get a clear picture of it.
