There are several versions about how they started this dance party in Venezuela:
In 1208 when the religious Juliana de Cornillon promotes the idea of celebrating a festivity in honor of the body and blood of Christ, many say that although it is a possibility it is the most remote of all by the time it is said everything happened.
Four hundred years ago when they say that a priest did not have enough money or believers to take the Corpus Christi procession and in view of this, he says: "If there are no believers to take the Blessed One, let the devils come then", Legend says that the skies began to twinkle and this motive to the residents because it was taken as a call and in a few hours many of them were in front of the church ....
Legend has it that in 1740 it was the first year of the Dancing Devils of Yare, in a time of drought, the black desperate for fear of losing the harvest, they ask God to rain, so in that year It rained torrentially and in gratitude the blacks offered to dress up as Devils and from there the dance began, for many this is the most credible version of all, some also say that there are writings of their ancestors about these stories.
