Abstract

Over a long weekend, between February 14-16, the 19th Tricota Cultural took place in Villa Ani Mi , a small village just north of where I'm currently living. As part of the local Carnaval celebrations in the Sierras Chicas, folks play music, dance and also celebrate with King Momo, represented by a big Papier-mâché effigy. This year, King Momo's place was taken by Queen Moma though.
