Residents of the town of Camajuani, in the center of Cuba, show off their allegorical floats with fireworks and music despite the recurring blackouts to celebrate one of their most important traditions: "Las Parrandas". "Las Parrandas" is a cultural competition between two neighborhoods or parties into which each town is divided. The two parties work all year long to prepare for the competition, which takes place on the night of the "Festivity of Las Parrandas". IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
