TAMBA-TAYÁ

Tamba-Taya is a Brazilian legend, which tells the story of an Indian Amasonico Tupi, who after the death of his beloved wife, was introduced to the body to be that of love, inside the Amazon jungle, on the site more unseen, more desolate, Far from around the world. He was buried alive clung to her, so stay forever, with his great love. In the tomb reads the legend grew the tree Tamba Taya whose leaves are the union of two sheets, one bigger and one smaller, along with the first. This is the unhappy couple united in an eternal embrace of life, sublime symbol of love.


La Llorona is a legend in Colombia, which tells the story of a young peasant woman, who work in a house used as a service, who got pregnant from her employer, she was dismissed, so it was returned to the field with their parents who reproached their state of pregnancy, leading to hopelessness and one night ran to the river and giving birth to her son threw it to power; when she realized of his mistake, ran behind the child screaming and crying.

Those who have seen it describe it as a woman with reddish eyes and tears by the cadaverous face. Bring a baby in his arms. At night scares in the streams, ponds and puddles with their cries and screams wrenching and macabre to drunken and unfaithful husbands.
