As every year, in various districts of the Lambayeque region, groups of girls begin to gather in a house in the neighborhood, to rehearse the dance of shepherdesses. They are traditional in Monsefú Eten City in Mochumí in Illimo, in chambers, in Chongoyape. Are shepherdesses with brightly colored clothing through the streets singing to the Child Jesus.
There are girls who enter the group of shepherdesses by devotion to God in gratitude and faith. Many entrants to dance since age 6 and leave the group when they are 12 to 13 years and the first signs of a lady that is emerging, begin to manifest.
No missing serranito and Gypsy. Characters must in all shepherdesses dance, which are distributed from the highest to the most tiny, with their hats with round mirrors, colored ribbons, braids and a rattle-striking that always made ??with sheets of beer or soda-in hand, whose sound combined with the hops that give as they go, and they sing the verses.
"Niño Manuelito, I can give you, as a gift, this Christmas," reads one of the verses in the distance, you hear sung by one group of girls, who have been rehearsing all these days.
With less than 20 days to Christmas and children and feel ready to sing and dance. It is your gift to God this Christmas.
