'La Bruja' (The Witch) is a popular traditional song from the state of Veracruz, Mexico. There's various tales and legends in Mexico and one of those is of La Bruja, which can perhaps be compared to the legend of the vampire 'Dracula' (made popular by Bram Stoker). La Bruja is a supernatural creature that sucks/drinks the blood of her victims. La Bruja is also a traditional dance of the state of Veracruz, the victim in the song is seduced by the witch. The dance consists of a glass or candle placed on top of the head of the dancers. The song was a favorite of the Mexican painter Diego Rivera and Frida Kahlo, who also interpreted it. Here is a video of the dance:
