In Mexico, conchero dancers have participated in Catholic fiestas since the Spanish Coquest. Franciscan monks required they adopt European instruments like the lute, which they made from conchos, armadillo shells, and European musical forms.

Summary

edit
Description
English: As a means of converting indigenous people to Catholicism, monks deliberately sought ways to transform indigenous beliefs and rituals with similarities to Catholic ones into ones that could be included in Catholic practice. The transformation of indigenous dances to indigenous gods into ones expressing Catholic beliefs was one such vehicle. These dance groups have existed continuously since the 16th century to the present day and regularly participate in Catholic fiestas.
