Traditions of Tabasco

Dances like the Pocho and del Caballito are also a part of the state folklore.
The most famous expression is the Danza del Pocho, which takes place during
the Carnival celebration prior to the catholic holly days on Easter, and is
performed by the Cojoes, who represent Good fighting evil god Pocho;
however, during the battle, the Cojoes display their naughty facet and
without warning they begin wetting or throwing flour at the audience. This
performance is original of the state province of Tenosique
Other popular celebrations in the Tabasco communities include de Santa Cruz
Festival in Teapa, the festivities of Our Lady of Santa Ana which takes place in
Sanchez Magallanes, the festivities of San Antonio organized in the locality of
Cardenas, and the one honoring San Isidro Labrador and taking place in
Comalcalco.
