1995 Carnaval, Bailhe De Lowell, MA (2)

1995-02-26

The video footage is labelled as being the Bailhe de New Bedford but the title of the YouTube video reflects that it is the Bailhe de Lowell.

The video begins with the announcer introducing the performance and the subject of the dance, which is "a fight in a bullfight in Lowell." The announcer names some of the dancers and inspiration for the performance, and is then humorously interrupted by one of the performers. The group begins their dance while accompanied by guitars and saxophones. One dancer sings the solos. Throughout the performance, the dance will pause while other actors partake in a comical theatrical and musical performance before the dances and music resume. This dance took place around 3:00 A.M.
