A procession of drummers in yellow head cloths and orange-and-floral sleeveless vests with black lower wraps marches across a paved courtyard. Several play large silver drums with tassels hanging from them, while others carry small hand cymbals or drumsticks. A woman in white and a man in a blue shirt walk nearby. Behind them stand a red-draped stage structure and a scaffold, with trees under a hazy sky.
