Tolosa - Burial of the Sardine

Recorded during the last night of the famous carnival in Tolosa (Gipuzkoa). As in many other carnivals, the traditional burial of the sardine is the last event of the carnivals. In Tolosa, the sardine goes in a procession (inside a coffin), accompanied by a troupe of dulzaineros, widows, and other local characters who weep inconsolably for the sardine.
