The local people believed that the Virgin saved the city of Latacunga. At that time, there were African people working in mines in the area, so a Black Mother, or the Mama Negra, was chosen to represent the Virgin. She represents the mother of Jesus. In this festivity there are dancers with pre- Colombian costumes and traditional musical groups. The festivity finishes when La Mama Negra arrives on a borse, carrying a doll that is her child.
