Abstract

This article entitled: "The may pole in the memory of the creoles cultural bearers from Puerto Cabezas, Autonomous Region of the Northern Nicaraguan Caribbean Coast", refers to the Caribbean dance "palo de mayo" (may pole) and the rites associated with the celebration of this festivity have been emphasized, which represents a reunion with our historical and cultural roots.  The methodology is qualitative with a hermeneutic approach as it is mainly based on bibliography and the interviews conducted, the level of depth is descriptive-explanatory as it allowed reconstructing the memory of what has been walked and lived and extracting the lessons learned or the experience of the Afro-descendant cultural carriers in the promotion and preservation of the may pole in Puerto Cabezas. By sharing their knowledge, wisdom and practices, the cultural bearers offer us the possibility of rescuing the true meaning of the festivity and its revitalization in private and public spaces.
