This article aims to reflect on an agricultural ritual battle called zumbanacuy starring the population of Huayucachi, which is divided into two segments following the Andean space of hatun and hurin. They have added aspects of their local and regional history, as well as a vision of Afro that will be interpreted under the Afro-Indian-Latin-American approach. The ritual confronts two social groups: the rich or gamonales and the people of the town, the poor, the runas or chinchilpos. It tries to show the different confluences of the Afroindolatinoamericano in this event through the testimonies of the protagonists of this battle for agricultural purposes.
