Ukuba uye wabuyela ePuerto Rico , mhlawumbi uye wabona iimaski ze- vejigante . Amaski enqabileyo, amacwecwe ahlambulukileyo anxibe iindonga zeentengiso ezingenakubalwa eSan Juan nakwii-siqithi. Lowo olenga eludongeni umnyama kunye nopinki, kunye neempondo ezinhlanu ezinkulu kunye nenkuni ebukhali.
Kodwa zithini, kwaye zivela phi? Impendulo iphambili kwimbali yasePuerto Rico, kunye nokuguqulwa kweenkcubeko ezivelisa izithethe ezizodwa.
I-vejigante ngumntu we-folkloric ovela kwimvelaphi ebuyela emva kweSpeyin. Umgca uya kuthi i-vejigante imele i-Moor's infidel eyayiyiswa ekulweni ekhokelwa nguSanta James. Ukuzukisa ongcwele, abantu abagqoke ngeedemon badlulisela esitratweni kwiprogram yomnyaka. Ngokuhamba kwexesha, i-vejigante yaba yintshukumo yedemon, kodwa ePuerto Rico, yathatha inqaku elitsha ngokusungulwa kwemeko yeAfrika kunye nendawo yaseTaíno. Abantu baseAfrika banikezela umculo obunzima bomba ypena y plena , ngoxa iTaíno yanikela ngemigangatho yemveli kwisabelo esibaluleke kakhulu kwisigqoko se-vesjigante: i-mask. Ngaloo ndlela, iVuerto Rico vejigante yintetho yenkcubeko kunye nePuerto Rico.
I-Careta Mask
I-mask ye vejigante yaziwa ngokuba yi-Careta. Yenziwe kwi-papier-mâché okanye i-coconut husks (nangona ndibonayo amaninzi amanxeba ayenziwe kunye ne-gourd), ngokuqhelekileyo idlala imidlalo ekhohlakeleyo yeempondo, iimbombo kunye nemibhobho, kwaye idla i-polka-dotted.
AmaMask aqoshiwe ngesandla kwaye ahlanganiswe ngabenzi bendawo. Nangona i "Carey" eyiyo inkulu ngokwaneleyo ukuba igqitywe, uya kufumana ubunzima bobubanzi bemaski ukusuka kwizinto ezincinane ezinokuthi uphinde uzibuyisele ekhaya kwiChina-Dragon-like-masterpieces. Ngokufanayo, amanani aqala malunga ne-$ 10 kwaye afikelela kumawaka.
Ngaphandle kweMask
Vejigante kukuhlanganiswa kwamagama amabini aseSpanish: vejiga , okanye inkomo yeenkomo, kunye ne- gigante , okanye i-giant. Igama libhekisela kuma-vejigas ukuba abalinganiswa baphathe nabo. I-vessie, eyomile, ihluthe, izaliswe yimbewu kunye nepeyinti, isikhali esithembekileyo se-vejigante. Ngexesha lePonce Carnival , isiganeko esona sikhulu kunazo zonke ePuerto Rico kunye nesigaba sonyaka sokwenzela izinto zakhe, abalinganiswa baya kujonga ngokukhawuleza phakathi kwezihlwele, becula, becula, bahlasele abantu abadlulayo. (Musa ukuxhalaba, oku akusilo lugonyamelo okanye lusizi lwamava ... ubuncinci, ayifanelekanga ukuba!) I-banner phakathi kwe-vejigantes kunye nezihlwele ziyinxalenye yokuzonwabisa.
I-mask iyinxalenye enye yokuhlanganiswa. Ukongeza, imidlalo ye-vejigante ipopu ejikelezayo, injenge-suitlow clown kodwa ngamacala angama-billowy asasazeka njengamaphiko xa i-vejiga isasaza iingalo zakhe.
Awunelanga ukulinda iKarnival ukufumana i-vejigantes. Baya kufumaneka kwiindidi ezahlukahlukeneyo kunye nemikhosi - ndabona enye ixhomeke eSaborea! - kodwa ukuba ufumane amava epheleleyo, akukho nto ifana nePonce Carnival kunye neFiesta de Santiago Apostól , okanye uMthendeleko we-Saint James, owabanjelwe eLoíza nganye ngoJulayi.
Ezi zixeko zimbini ziyizihloko ezingekho phantsi kwesiqhelo sasePuerto Rico, kwaye apho abaninzi abaqhiqizi bezilwanyana kunye nabenzi bemaski bafumaneka khona.
Ndiyifumana imaskigante enhle, engaqhelekanga kunye neyomekayo ye-vejigante ukuba ibe yindlela ebonayo kunye neyona nto ibonisa umdla wezobugcisa kunye nezobugcisa zasePuerto Rico. Nangona bahamba ngokubanzi kumgangatho (ngokukodwa amancinci, apho ngombono ongeyithathanga imimoya yeemaski), akunzima ukufumana imaski enhle ukubiza yakho. Yaye ukuba ayingekho imimandla, khumbula ukuba ezi zinto aziyizikhumbuzo ezenziwe ngumbane, kodwa imisebenzi eyenziwe ngesandla. I-Asymmetry yinxalenye yobuhle bayo!
