Favorite carnival moments

Well, i was not that involved in these carnivals, i went to "Garabato del Country" "La Guacherna" and i' m not sure if i should include this as a carnival moment but i went to "El Festival de la Cerveza". So, in the "Garabato del country" i was with some friends in "El Parque Washington", the night was alright but i was not focus on the performance because i was having fun with my friends, i know.. that is not the objective of Carnivals but i enjoyed it :), The night of "La Guacherna" was another story, i was enjoying the dances, the costumes, the music, and so. But i had a problem with a guy who said that i was on his chair (that´s not true) and he paid for it, i chose to ignore him but when i stand up over my chair, he literally pushed me making me fall. At first i was angry but after 5 minutes i was laughing ..so for me, this is one of my favorite moments.

Tinariwen

I can infer that tuareg culture is characterized as a patient, calm, meticulous, and organized group of people. In some lyrics like " The lion is intrepid and the frog is vulnerable, but the latter is better at finding the path to water" tells me that they don´t mind to be fast, they are more interested in do the right things in the right way. The images of the video teach me how they do the simple things, they take the things slowly and calm and they make and effort for a perfect result. I don´t know nothing about this culture, but i can make a point of view thanks to this video by trying to analyzed the images, the lyrics and the relaxing song.
