Two costumed girls dance barefoot to a drum in a red hued room.

Sisters dance to the beat of their brother’s drums as they perform for family in their home in El Carmen, Peru. The community descended from slaves brought from Africa by the Spanish and is known for their love of Afro-Peruvian music and dance.
