Barranquilla's Carnaval

Barranquilla's Carnaval (Spanish: Carnaval de Barranquilla) is Colombia's most important folklore celebration. It is one of the biggest carnivals in the world, after Rio de Janeiro. The carnival has traditions that date back to the 19th century. Forty days before Holy Week, Barranquilla decks itself out to receive national and foreign tourists, and join together with the city's inhabitants to enjoy four days of intense festivities. During the carnival Barranquilla's normal activities are paralyzed because the city gets busy with street dances, musical and masquerade parades. Barranquilla´s Carnival includes dances like the Spanish paloteo, African congo and indigenous mico y micas. Many styles of Colombian music are also performed, most prominently cumbia, and instruments include drums and wind ensembles. The Carnival of Barranquilla was proclaimed Cultural Masterpiece of the Nation by Colombia's National Congress on 2002..[1] Also the UNESCO, in Paris on November 7, 2003, declared it as one of the Masterpieces of the Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity, and it was during Olga Lucia Rodriquez Carnival Queen year.

The Carnival starts on the Saturday before Ash Wednesday with the Battle of the Flowers, which is considered one of the main activities. Then, The Great Parade on Sunday and Monday is marked by an Orchestra Festival with Caribbean and Latin bands. Tuesday signals the end of the carnival, announced by the burial of Joselito Carvajal, who is mourned by everyone.

Barranquilla´s Carnival slogan is: Who lives it,is who
enjoys it (Quien lo vive, es quien lo goza).

The story of that virgin, dates back to 1709 (date declared by the Catholic Church,although several historians differ on this one) where an old woman washing clothes on the banks of Lake Maracaibo, is a table moments later would use to fill a jar whichcollected water in your home. Legend has it that women after filling with water container found, was drawn to the Virgin Mary on the piece of wood, as well asMarian devotion, hung on a wall the crappy table.

  Sometime later, then sonar continuous blows, the old woman went to the roomwhere hung the picture, and biggest surprise has been taken to see that this bright light sprang directly from the figure, once blurred, Virgen del Chiquinquirá. The Croneshouted "miracle, miracle" (since then, the avenue near where he lived in Maracaibois called The Miracle) and began a series of situations, including the construction of the basilica, now home where she lives, who concluded at the Fair of the Chinita,festivity that is celebrated for over 42 years in Maracaibo and 12 in the Municipality of San Francisco.

                           Hi, there .. Welcome to my blog. I made it for my English Level 2 class.

My name is Laura Prada, I'm from Barranquilla, Colombia;  but I have 8 years living in Maracaibo, Venezuela. I’m 17 years old and I study graphic design at URBE. My favorite subject is graphic design workshop.

I love vallenato, the Simpson , watch tv, surfing the net, talking on the phone with my friends, pizza, chicken, chocolate, my family, Colombia, and my dog shaky.

I hate emos, Ignorance, Violence, Injustice, clean and I can not "bear"hypocritical and ungrateful people.
