About the Carnival:
The carnival costume of the Mamuthone is one of the island’s most important carnival masks and represents a thousand-year-old tradition. The Mamuthone wears a dark wooden mask bearing a fascinating expression. He is weighed down by several cowbells on his back which often exceed 30kgs.
The Mamuthones make their way through the streets, occasionally jumping in rhythm so their cowbells ring out in an unmistakable sound. They are led in procession by the Issohadores, who use long ropes made from rushes to command them. Without the weight of the cowbells the Issohadores are more agile than their prisoners but they accompany them in their slow rhythmical progression through the town.
