Revellers take part in a parade called "La Calabiuza", on the eve of the Day of the Dead in Tonacatepeque, El Salvador. During the celebration, the residents of Tonacatepeque, originally an indigenous community, recall the characters from the mythology of Cuscatlan -- pre-Columbian west and central regions of El Salvador -- and their dead relatives. "In Tonacatepeque, it's a cultural tradition that has been passed down for many years, and we must keep it alive," says Jose Diaz, a participant. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
