Cover Story: La Medicina del Color en el Carnaval de Negros y Blancos. By FOR The BEST, The Woodlands - Magazine
Part of our commitment, is to highlight the values of our people, their work, their achievements and their culture. Their customs and traditions make each region a unique and wonderful place. Aeromexico brings us closer to these wonderful destinations; and this time, my trip in early January took me, along with a group of friends, to retrace a path which I had not taken in 23 years: The famous path of the Carnaval at San Juan de Pasto, Colombia.
The Carnaval, an inspired labor of love by artisans of national and international renown, has been recognized by UNESCO, for being a true artistic treasure. Tourists and locals can tour their large workshops, where in each one, they can visit with a “Master”, whom with the simplicity and humility that comes from wisdom, will eloquently and with great imagination explain the reasoning behind the inspiration and development of this work of art; allowing our creative mind to be swayed by this very involving narrative.
Carolina Revelo, a Social Communicator and journalist, invites us to learn more about this experience with her article: Medicine of color in the Carnival of Blacks and Whites.
We thank Andres Ceballos, Eric Bauer and Michael Garzon, for their extraordinary photographic work. From this edition on, they will be accompanying us with a select number of their photographs, full of color and capturing unique moments in the work of these great masters of the carnaval.

Carnaval de Negros y Blancos
Inscribed in 2009 on the Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity.
Country: Colombia
Carnaval de Negros y Blancos by UNESCO
Arising out of native Andean and Hispanic traditions, the Carnaval de negros y blancos (Black and White Carnival) in San Juan de Pasto in south-western Colombia is a great celebration lasting from 28 December to 6 January each year. The celebrations begin on the 28th with the Carnival of Water − the throwing of water in homes and on the streets to initiate a festive mood. On New Year’s Eve, the Old Year’s parade takes place, with marchers carrying satirical figures representing celebrities and current events, and culminating in a ritual burning of the passing year. The main days of the carnival are the last two, when people of all ethnicities don black cosmetics on the first day, then white talcum on the next to symbolize equality and integrate all citizens through a celebration of ethnic and cultural difference. The Black and White Carnival is a period of intense communion, when private homes become collective workshops for the display and transmission of carnival arts and a wide range of people come together to express their views of life. The festival is especially important as the expression of a mutual desire for a future of tolerance and respect.
