My son is doing a project in Spanish for this, but we cannot find special music celebrated in it, special dances, and special clothing worn during this holiday.
"El Día de los Reyes Magos" - "Magic Kings Day"/"Epiphany", in English, is on the 6th of January.
Check out a compilation of "Villancicos" de Navidad" (Christmas Carols). Probably the most popular/famous in Spain is "Los Peces en el Rio" (at 4:18) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jIFNSQpK51A . The video gives you the title for each song-snippet sung. You can discount the last two songs sung in English. (not sure whey they're there)
I'm also not familiar with special Spanish Christmas dances nor special clothing worn during the holiday. I don't think either exists.
There are parades in ordinarilly every town and metropolis on Epiphany Eve. That equal night time, earlier than going to sleep, kids depart 3 glasses of milk and cookies for the three kings and water for his or her camels, also it's left shoes representing each member of the loved ones. In the morning, each person wakes up to get their offers (together with adults), and if the kids had been a bit bad the past yr, the kings might depart a bit of coal produced from sugar within the offers! As for meals, a exact cake known as 'Roscón' is eaten that day. It can be bought from a bakery on Epiphany morning they usually're stuffed with cream or whipped cream, and within is hidden a determine - either of Jesus or a king, and a dry faba bean. Whoever finds the figure is crowned and turns into the king or queen of the house for the day, whereas whoever finds the bean has to pay the roscón; because the saying goes: "Si es el haba lo encontrado el Roscón pagarás; más si ello es la figura, coronado y Rey serás..." ("If the bean is discovered, the Roscón you can pay; whereas is the figure, topped and King you can be") Thre are usually not songs sung that day, or certain clothes worn. It's a day to enjoy with loved ones and specially with children.
