For fifty years a popular tradition has been performed at the Central Cemetery of Bogota: the rites to the deceased. The isolated ambiance, the sparking of candles, the cooing of pigeons or the singing of mariachis make the Central Cemetery a favorable place to retreat, to communicate with the beyond and to seek for a greater force that brings help and benefits to the life of the believers. Hearing the whispers that call death to life allows us to observe some elements of life that remain veiled.
