What Types Of Food Should I Eat If I Have Colitis

Salve! Salve! Enjoyment of life

Salve! Salve! Carnival unparalleled

dear land of Riosucio

of glory are immortal

The chorus of that song still gives me around in my head. And no wonder, the hymn of the Carnival is repeated and repeated during the days it lasts. One, as vistiante, has an obligation to learn, but at the moment of truth that is not difficult and one learns with pleasure.
long time I wanted to go to the Carnival, famous in Colombia to have a figure that highlights a lot with religion present in the coffee people, the very prince of the underworld, lord of the underworld, the incarnation of ultimate evil, Lucifer, The Devil, Satan.

Satan is a black
I know, I know

History tells us that where now stands Riosucio, had a land dispute for two people, a English village with mining vocation indigenous people. To end the war between them, it was decided that both villages are located in the same village. However, they were "Happy Together", and therefore it is a town with two main squares separated a couple of blocks. There was even a barrier in the same town (to the best usage of a wall of Berlin, only a century earlier) to separate villages.

The pastors of both churches, tired of the rivalry and bickering, ordered to take down the division and made a threat to the inhabitants. Who disturb the peace between two peoples, it would take the devil. To celebrate the union of these, they created a carnival the first days of January in honor of the Magi. Years later, the figure of the devil of the threat became the central figure of the Carnival. Culturally the devil and the carnival took elements of English culture, black, mulatto, indigenous and mestizo and the event, making it a matchless they are today.

The carnival lasts from 2 to 8 January, and every two years. I was eager to walk, but for some reason was convinced that this year there was Carnival. Diego Talking to my uncle at Christmas I realized my mistake, and I learned that the pa was where the family of his wife, natives of the municipality. When asked if he could bring company, told me in his characteristic humor that I had with grid. So I called Lina, I told her to be my pal grid walk, accepted and start the first of January. Well, but it was not all grid ride, although he was full of mirella. Diego promptly reached niece.

My uncle described the Carnival in a simple phrase: It's a different course a. And yes it is. This year was enough to rumba. I went to parties at El Retiro, a village near Medellin. And are the typical holiday village. Cavalcade, a stage with orchestras, and many tables in the main square where people sit to drink. Some loose bottles to grab some girl and dance to popular music.

Never, ever

ones I abandooo caaaaariñ ito!

But there is a fundamental difference between a common village festivals and carnivals Riosucio. For example, few people know that the celebrations are the Fiestas del Retiro de los Negritos, after a midwife paisa who inherited her husband's many mines, and release all his slaves to Africa. In contrast, in Riosucio everyone knows the hisotria of Carnival, and is keen that all visitors, more partying to come, come to anoint the culture, learn about the Carnival, and sit outside to care for Rumba the Devil.
In Carnival, but no events equal to that of a village festival (orchestras, corralejas) there are events that make them unique. In addition, personally, rumba if you feel different. Although the entire drink making munod take drink is not the main activity. In fact there are very few tables in the plaza, almost none. On the contrary, all the people dancing. And every half a block is a shawm, or people with drums, or someone, making music. Not to mention the two giant tableaux, one in each park. So while you walk, while dancing or making guarapo * (main element in the party, but took little). You feel the atmosphere of rumba in the air, supplemented with lots of pretty girls who walk around town with bits of devils, which make them see ... hmm ... say more flirty than usual.
Carnival started 2 to 12 at night. At that time started a parade somewhere in the village, which is a masked parade opened with the flag of Riosucio, the board of the carnival with their ceremonial dress, and all that you want to paste the parade while dancing to chirimias pace, it runs, screams and sings.

Uh! Uh! Carnival!

Uh! Uh! Carnival!

This day ends with a rumba that will not stop until the carnival ends. Because anytime there is music somewhere and something to do. This time I played, but we stayed in the house has passed it by alglomeración of people take turns to sleep, depending if you want to be awake for the rumba or to any parade or corral or whatever.

is because the shows are spectacular. There are two main parades, that of the colonies and of the groups. The colonies are all riosuceños living in other parts of Colombia and the world. It's a nice parade, but does not compare with the parade of parades. For many people, is the most important comparzas carnival. The troupes are formed by a group of riosuceños to choose a specific topic and difrazan agree. The topics are varied as an imagination allows riosuceños. In the groups we saw, had geometric figures, angels, birds, scorpions, pyramids DMG, pirates, representations of underemployment, ghosts .. and these are what I remember at this time. Each of these extras brings his band, and preparing a series of songs with lyrics speaking propis policy, criticizing everything, women's, horns, drunken, love, hate and what they want. It is a carnival, there are no rules, one can say and sing what they want.

But the event is more representative of all the entry of the devil, the main character of the parties. The day the devil comes, it is a ceremonial spell ** dawn, another at noon and the devil finally comes into the night to people in a parade that starts at 7:00 pm but so late, arrives at the plaza of one of the parks around 10 or 11. Everyone is dressed up as the devil, and the color red is prominent in the parade. We were waiting for the parade on Aunt Martha Irene, and passing across the front of the house. My cousins \u200b\u200bwere disguised as horns, mask and goggles, and Lina and I had our respective horns. The long wait ended when he passed the giant devil, patron of the party, preceded by a court of demons and devils mostronas.

I am the devil

The Son of a bitch And I'll die Riosucio

behind came the giant pumpkin Guaparo between a river of people of people with horns, frenzied all. The devil gives Riosucio around until the end of the church, where it stops, move the wings fire at vocational check and give a speech to all present. Unfortunately I missed it, someone stole my camera in the crowd of people, I took her out of the box that was hung. Anyway, be careful, many people outside of Riosucio coming, and some bastard advantage pa do that. Well, but it was nothing more serious. And were the photos from the camera of Lina, which are those that are.

For work reasons return us to play early. And although corralejas we lost in some other dawn and fiesta and juice, what hurt us most was to miss the funeral of the devil. Because the carnival must end and the devil has to go. Then it becomes another parade, but this time the color red is not the principal, but is black. The environment is no longer a party. The drunks and the mourners cry the devil, and feel the pain of their widows. So grim is the ceremony that the carnival anthem, lively and cheerful, singing a requiem. The devil is finally burned, and the calabash containing the juice for the festival, buried. And life in Riosucio runs its normal course, until you spend another two years for a new carnival.

for me hand, will do my best not to miss the 2011. And in that if I stay until the funeral of the devil. I of you, do everything possible to go. It's worth all the world and the underworld.

* Three young people with secret identities come together to highlight the importance of the juice at parties, Guarapoman, MegaPorrón and Calabatron. Their mission is to make everyone take Blogoversary juice and the party.

** Before the spell, there is something called the dawn, which is that the streets of the town passed a parade shouting and singing, to awaken those who do not rumba. Course in which estvue, had rather few hornpipes, and more people running. With drunk people at that hour, that can be given pa accidents or fights. Still, it's a super patch!

PS: If I do not think the rumba does not end, I put the video of a day at 8:00 am sure they would go to sleep already, but 'til lie down.
