Abstract
The author of this article analyzes two little-known examples of entremeses with American ingredients, the second part of El Martinillo, an entremes cantado by Quiñones de Benavente, dated between 1634 and 1635, and Los casamientos by Vicente Suárez de Deza y Ávila, supposedly written before 1663. In both cases a comical trívialization of the American world can be observed, in the former piece through an allegory that conceals several critiques against colonization, and in the latter by means of a ridiculous treatment of the character of the indiano fingido, an interesting invention of the playwrights of the comedia nueva
