mamoiada-sfilata de Sos Mamuthones-Sos Issohadores
Probably actors who performed pagan rituals in ancient times but whose precise origins and meaning have been lost in the centuries, Sos Mamuthones and Issohadores have manteined intact their fascination and mystery.
"Without the Mamuthones there is no Carnival, say the people of Mamoiada. Theu are its most important feature, its symbol, almost. Their appearance is taken as a sign of festivity, happiness and times of grace.
The preparation of the masquerade creates an industrious ardour, a frantic, thrilled atmosphere that spreads to the whole community.
That of the Mamuthones is a solemn ceremonial, an orderly procession and dance at the same time.
The Mamuthones, in two parallel rows and flanked by the Issohadores, move very slowly, bent under the weight of the cowbells and, at regular intervals, lift their shoulder shaking the bell harness all at the same time. The Issohadores move with more agile steps and jumps, then, suddenly, they run, swiftly throw their lasso ("Sa Soha") to catch and pull towards them as prisoner the male friend or the woman they have singled out in the crowd."
Nati in tempi remotissimi, come attori attivi nei riti pagani, di loro si è persa l'origine e il significato.
"Sos Mamuthones" e "Sos Issohadores" , sono sopravvissuti con tutto il loro fascino e mistero.
"Senza Mamuthones non c'è carnevale", affermano i mamoiadini: il che vuol dire che è questa la più importante manifestazione e quasi simbolo del carnevale stesso e che l'apparizione dei Mamuthones è segno di festosità, di allegria e di tempi propizi.
La preparazione della mascherata, crea un fervore operoso, un'atmosfera agitata e fremente che si propaga in tutta la comunità.
Quella dei Mamuthones, è una cerimonia solenne, ordinata come una processione, che è allo stesso tempo una danza.
I Mamuthones si muovono su due file parallele, fiancheggiati dagli Issohadores, molto lentamente, curvi sotto il peso dei campanacci e ad intervalli uguali dando tutti un colpo di spalla per scuotere e far suonare tutta la sonagliera.
Gli Issohadores si muovono con passi e balzi più agili, poi all'improvviso si slanciano, gettano il laccio ("Sa Soba") fulmineamente e colgono e tirano a sè come un prigioniero l'amico o la donna che hanno scelto nella folla".
Here’s another aspect of the foyer/lobby at the Savoy Hotel in London – an establishment that has long been at the forefront of festive elegance, and this Christmas season it’s as magnificent as ever.
he traditions of Santiago de Cuba, its fables and wonderful myths, validate the reason of being of all the ones that live in these noble and loyal lands. The most traditional carnival in the island is the carnival of Santiago de Cuba. This is a festivity originated in the Fiestas de los Mamarrachos, which took place in the beginning of the XVII century and that has evolved to become the massive party we known today, celebrated between the 21 and 27 of July.
Another tradition in Santiago de Cuba is the proclamation, born from a characteristic sing of the ambulant vendors so their customers buy what they’re selling. This Cuban tradition fills with life, music and colors the beautiful streets of Santiago.
On Wednesday I had the pleasure of shooting in London with some friends and I am looking forward to sharing a few shots with you over the coming week. The highlights really were after dark; just check out the festivities going on along South Bank and the tip of the Shard lit green for Christmas. There's even a Christmas Tree thrown in there for good measure.
The market along the river bank is amazing, taking in the scene and all the smells is pretty awesome. Even spotted a few Vegan stalls which was lovely to see!
Tomorrow night is my works Christmas party - so felt this image was perfect for sharing! Have a good Friday guys and enjoy the festivities.

Getting in the Christmas spirit with 2 of my favorite people in SL ♥
Christmas festivities of 2017 has brought forth the spirit of this holiday season. Many people toured over 300 Christmas trees each came with their own story of sadness, hopefulness and blessings for a new year. Trees were decorated by children who suffered illness or a trauma but these children and families remain hopeful to keep celebrating the holiday seasons with their loved ones.

Best time of the year, a time when you can kick back and just watch the festivities unfolding. A time when you can sit and get pampered
