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.
