joselito death

joselito is the character who represents the Carnival of Barranquilla, are 4 days of intense rumba which ultimately lead to death on Tuesday at dawn it just the festival of God Momo.

Joselito symbolizes joy, feasting, revelry and disorder which are involved in Barranquilla Carnival days, died and his body is crying and symbolically buried the merry widows who shared his holidays. The parting is inevitable, but I hope to return in 361 days to turn back the party in Barranquilla.

 

Joselito's funeral is the last show of the Carnival of Barranquilla. In a tour of the traditional neighborhood streets below, where is located the Casa del Carnaval, hundreds of Joselito are mourned in a comic-theatrical representation that mimics the pain by the end of the holidays. In this parade, the queen and her entourage Daniella Donado, also dismissed the Carnival, Joselito and his ashes.

Barranquilla`s carnival

Carnival is a festive season which occurs immediately before Lent; the main events are usually during February. Carnival typically involves a public celebration or parade combining some elements of a circus, mask and public street party. People often dress up or masquerade during the celebrations, which mark an overturning of daily life.

Carnival is a festival traditionally held in Roman Catholic and, to a lesser extent, Eastern Orthodox societies. Protestant areas usually do not have carnival celebrations or have modified traditions, such as the Danish Carnival or other Shrove Tuesday events. The Brazilian Carnaval is one of the best-known celebrations today, but many cities and regions worldwide celebrate with large, popular, and days-long events.
