In this Sunday, August 5, 2018 photo, 8-year-old Miguel smiles while posing in his “rey moreno” or “black king” dance costume before the start of a procession honoring Our Lady of Copacabana, in Cuzco, Peru. The black king, one of the many characters that make up the “Morenada” or Dance of the Black Slaves, often wears a mask with exaggerated features and a tongue hanging out to symbolize the exhaustion of the slaves from the hard work and high altitudes, some believe.
