  • For one month every year, Carnival floods the streets of the Dominican Republic with wild colors, bold costumes and incredibly intricate masks. In Santiago, which hosts one of the island’s most colorful parties, Humberto Lopez is the mask maker to go to. He started crafting at the age of 12, became a professional at 16 and will forever be proud to create masks that celebrate Dominican culture.

      Tamboril tiene su carnabal, un senor llamado Francisco, o Franciquito vestias a hombres de lodo o tierra amarrilla, y a los caballos y burros los desfilaban como grupo, esto era tipico en Tamboril cuando el carnaval. Tambien participaban muchos les dice diablos cajuelos, tenian muchos espejos, y latigos, vejigas, ect.
      El que trataba de molestarlos quitandoles espejitos les daban vejigazos, y se exibian da do lastigazos en las calles.

      Yeah there can be friendly people but it is known for being the country with the most dangerous streets to drive in. And most people will try to steal from you. Also men will always want to cat talk women and even violate them due to their poor education. I'm not trying to be mean, its the truth, I live there but not in the poor hoods.

    In Hatillo, Puerto Rico there is a similar tradition it has to do something with a saint there are different variations in different towns and now I look at it as country variations

    • @renthehag
      @renthehag 5 лет назад +3

      Glad I’m not the only one who saw the similarity between these and the vejigante masks! As a Puerto Rican who grew up stateside and pretty far removed from any larger Latino communities, it’s always neat to learn something new about Latino culture in general.
