I'd say; It looks like Brazilian carnival (in small cities), except for the sexual content.

mad men
why do they wear such silly clothing and attach cowbells on the belt?
>>67464728
because your sister likes it
>>67464728
it's part of the folk lore of the region, tras-os-montes and minho both preserved their traditions moderately well, but population exodus hit them harder than anywhere else.
IIRC they represent a magical being of celtic influence (although might well be even older)

They are disguised as cows, so they don't get caught.

my sister has always been the type of idiot who gets moist when she hears a good cowbell
