El Güegüense, aka El Macho Ratón is a16th century satirical Nicaraguan drama. It is one of Latin America's most distinctive colonial-era expressions and Nicaragua's signature folkloric masterpiece meshing music, dance and theater.
There are 14 characters in the piece, and here we have one of the Españoles (Spaniards) depicted. Traditionally, the masks for the Spaniards are painted with blonde hair or dark hair, but you can differentiate them from El Güegüense and his sons by their head dress and outfits. Though the differences are subtle, the Spaniards have fancier head dresses and outfits.
