Nayarit was part of the State of Jalisco until the turn of the century. The music and dances of the Mestiza culture (Indigenous, African, and Spanish) still predominate in the region of Nayarit.  The music and dances of Nayarit show the spirit of the fiesta and the excitement of coming of age. In some cases, the dances are competitions for the men and women to show their bravado.
