Abstract
In La Cañada is performed the fiesta del Gallo, a nocturnal celebration where people reunite, carrying roosters made with china paper and reed. That celebration agglutinates different barrios of the population, in this context the following question was stated: How are community ties built through the fiesta del gallo? In order to approach this question, we analyze what occurs in some spaces of festive socialization in which the music prevails, the dance and the communication with artifacts like gallos, santos and estrellas.
