 Is anyone on my flist fluent (or reasonably so) in Spanish/Portuguese/Hungarian/German/Dutch/Greek/almost any European language that has a maypole dance tradition with ribbons?

I found Greek and Dutch dances today.  I think it's pretty safe to assume that almost any country in Southern Europe will turn out to have a maypole dance with ribbons (and Northern Europe to have maypole dances without ribbons)

Google Translate isn't up to the job at the level I need.

I need people willing to do a little bit of research for me (not masses) and ask occasional questions on You Tube.

I think at least two of those languages are on my flist, but I know people only have limited free time.

 Trying not to bore you with all my findings - I'm adding about a country a day at present.

However, Peru is something totally different!

The only two examples I've found there so far both use the maypole as a processional item.  They dance with the maypole, rather than round it.
