José Ramón Pérez Pérez (1975). He is one of the founders of the Cultural Association El Zangarrón de Montamarta, which he chaired for several years. Although he now plays a more discreet role, he remains a key figure in the festival. For over twenty years, he has been responsible for dressing the masked man during the two days of celebration—a process that is done directly on the body of the young man embodying the Zangarrón. He also builds and repairs the masks when needed. He does not sell them; he makes them for use in the fiesta and parades, ensuring that masks are available throughout the year. In the past, this was not the case, as it was customary for each participant to make their own mask.
