¡Hola! ¿Cómo va todo? Por aquí, por España, hemos pasado de un Enero suave (con temperaturas casi primaverales) a un Febrero de verdadero invierno, con frío, como corresponde a estas fechas. Bien, hoy os voy a hablar de los carnavales cuyas celebraciones están ya terminando. Como en cualquier parte del mundo, en España se celebra el carnaval en las semanas previas a la Semana Santa. Aquí, sin embargo, la forma de celebrar los carnavales es muy distinta dependiendo de la región o localidad concreta, aunque en general todos tienen en común el disfraz y la fiesta en la calle.
En las Islas Canarias, por ejemplo, las celebraciones son las más parecidas a los famosísimos carnavales de Brasil; desfiles, baile, reinas del carnaval... En Cádiz lo más destacado son las murgas y las charangas; grupos de personas que se disfrazan siguiendo el mismo motivo, y que cantan un tipo de canción humorística y satírica llamada chirigota. En algunos pueblos los carnavales tienen una raíz más tradicional, como la conocida celebración de Os peliqueiros en Laza (en Galicia), que se cuenta entre los más antiguos del mundo. En este carnaval, varios personajes disfrazados y con máscaras, que representan a los recaudadores de impuestos, van golpeando con el látigo al público, que les increpa, aunque no puede tocarlos.
En general para todas las celebraciones, la gente se disfraza, sale a la calle a celebrarlo con sus comparsas, hay desfiles, música, baile...
Y esto es todo por hoy. Si podéis buscad en Internet 'Os peliqueiros' y veréis qué carnaval tan interesante. ¡Hasta pronto!
----Formal English----
Hi! How's everything going? Around here, throughout Spain, we've gone from a mild January (with almost spring-like temperatures) to a truly wintry February, cold, as pertains to this season. Well, today I'm going to talk to you about Carnival, the celebration of which is nearing its end. As in any part of the word, Carnival in Spain is celebrated during the weeks prior to Holy Week. Here, however, the way of celebrating Carnival is rather distinct, depending on the specific region or town, though in general they have in common a costume and street party.
On the Canary Islands, for example, the celebrations are much like the Oh so famous Carnival of Brazil: parades, dance, Carnival Queens... In Cádiz, what's most noteworthy are the 'murgas' and brass bands: groups of people that dress up in costumes of the same motif and dance to a kind of humorous and satyrical song called 'chirigota' (joke). In some towns, Carnival has more traditional roots, like the renown celebration of ' Os peliqueiros' in Laza (in Galicia), which is included among the oldest in the world. In this Carnival, various characters dressed in costumes and masks, which represent tax collectors, go around beating the audience with a whip, which they rebuke, even though they can't touch them.
In general, for all of these celebrations, people dress up in costumes, go out onto the street and celebrate it with their masquerades. There are parades, music, dance...
And this is it for today. If you can, search the internet for 'Os peliqueiros' and you'll see what an interesting Carnival it is. See you soon!
