| 説明 | Matachines (Spanish matachín, a sword dancer in a fantastic costume —called also bouffon b pl matachi·ni [MexSp matachín, fr. Sp, matachin (sense 1a), fr. It mattaccino] : a member of a society of north and South American-Indian dancers who perform ritual dances. They are found from Peru up to Northern NM where the Spanish first influenced "The New World" and introduced Christianity to the native peoples.The Matachina dance, or "Danza de Matachines" (Spanish) is explained by oral tradition amongst most Indian Tribes as "The Dance of the Moors and Christians" and is the first masked dance introduced by the Spaniards. The Moors were driven out of Spain in 1492 and the missionaries introduced the dance to show the superiority of the Christians. The dance was adopted by the people, and today many forms of this dance still exist,Though the dance steps vary amongst tribes the dance formations are all similar. Masks continue to be used, but the style changes from village to village, or tribe.The introduction of the Dance of the Moors and Christians gave rise to a further range of masked dances, one of them recounting the Spanish victory over the Indians and their eventual conversion to Christianity. These dances are called conquest dances (also a Matachin tradition), and Cortes and La Malinche (his Indian mistress and translator) often appear in them. It's interesting to note that in many versions of this dance, the Indians wear lavish costumes while the Christians are played by children.The Matachines dance for a deeper religious purpose, since most of them join to venerate either Mother Mary (Our Lady of Guadalupe, Our Lady of Lourdes, Immaculate conception, etc.), a saint (the group usually chooses the saint that pertains to the church they belong to), or simply to worship Christ or God the Holy Trinity, demonstrated by the three forked symbolized as a "Sword of the Holy a Trinity".Matachines (Spanish matachín, a sword dancer in a fantastic costume —called also bouffon b pl matachi·ni [MexSp matachín, fr.
