My favorite Carnival moment

Barranquilla's Carnival is one of the biggest carnivals in the world and also is Colombia's  most important folklore celebration. This celebration starts on Saturday with the Battle of Flowers and ends on Tuesday with Joselito's death. The first activity is my favorite carnival moment because you can see a lot of people dancing and wearing beautiful costumes full of color, you can also see some famous people who came to the carnival and appears at Battle of Flowers dancing and singing because they also want to be part of it because better than see it is being part of it... 

"Who lives it, is who enjoys it"

The song present in the video talks about pain, love and being free in a peacefully rhythm. They also show and mention frequently a "glass of tea" so, from what I saw in the video I can infer that Tuareg culture are people who do the things slowly, they are very patient and calm and also do things in an organized way trying to do their best as we see when the man was serving the tea.

The director of the video used close up planes in order to show us in detail the things Tuareg culture do and how they do it and with the lyric we can also organized the ideas presented in the images so we can infer a concept of this culture and the things that characterized them. 

Barranquilla, the cultural capital of 2013.

Barranquilla was choose by the Bureau International of Cultural Capitals  as the Cultural capital of 2013 because the major was trying to get this tittle since beginnings of 2012 and when Xavier Tudela, the president of the Bureu International of Cultural Capitals, went to Barranquilla, he found that Barranquilla has a high international profile and also that is a city full of positivism and citizen awareness and all those things makes Barranquilla a city involved in an evolutionary process of acculturation, and that is what they want to show to the others Americans cities. 

According to this, Barranquilla will have a lot of benefits because is a plus for every city that receive this  award, the people will know more about it and because of the publicity it'll receive from Antena 3 and Discovery Network, is very probable that the tourism will increase and therefore the economy.
