caleseros (coachmen, <people in transportation occupations>, ... People (hierarchy name)) |
|
Note: Coachmen in colonial Latin America, usually depicted stereotypically as black men, usually slaves, who drove calesas, or carriages. Their extravagant uniforms and ornamentation were indications of their owners' wealth. In Cuba, caleseros are distinctive characters of the colonial period and are usually portrayed in images as garishly dressed dandies. |
