Carnival of the Devil - Riosucio, Colombia







Every two years, from January 5 to 10, in odd-numbered years, the Carnaval del Diablo, or Devil’s Carnival, is convoked in the town of Riosucio. It is a true specimen of tradition, where the racial mixing of the Colombian people is evident in a great recreational feast where reality is made mock of and becomes transformed by the magic exerted by dances, costumes, words, poetry, and music.

The surprising history of the Riosucio Carnival


Back in colonial times, great enmity arose between two towns: Quiebralomo Real de Minas and La Montaña. The people of the former - one of the richest mining towns of the 16th century and managed by Spaniards in service to their King – were of mixed black and white ancestry; the latter was inhabited by Indians.
After a century of confrontations and thanks to two Catholic priests who threatened the inhabitants of the two towns with eternal damnation if they continued at war, they decided to share their territory and gave rise to the present town of Riosucio.
In 1847, to seal their peace agreement, the Three Magi festivities were celebrated jointly. Soon, they would change their character, because the guardian of peace, who would always be there to remind them of their promise to the priests, was the devil. A mestizo devil who obtained his nourishment from ancestral African dances, Indian ceremonies in honor of the sun and the earth, and the traditions of the Europeans who arrived seeking liberty and found their paradise in America.

The Riosucio Carnival Devil

The Riosucio devil is an example of cultural syncretism that joins elements of the Judeo-Christian devil, but is devoid of evil significance. This devil is only the guardian of the feast. The Carnival’s official website describes him very well:
A state of mind inherited from the aboriginal cultural tradition derived from the mixing of races and cultures that took place in the western part of what is today (the department of) Caldas. A spirit that inspires many things like the preparation of the ears for music and of the body for dancing. The spirit that inspires writers and poets to create verses and songs. [...] As a symbol, he is a faithful reflection of the masquerade of life. He is erected as a central figure to be burned later in playful ceremonial acts. [...] His figure changes with the passage of time and he is never an idol. He lives in the kind hearts of each inhabitant of Riosucio to make the carnival possible.

The Riosucio Carnival: Colombia’s longest carnival

The Riosucio Carnival


The carnival is the longest feast in Colombia and, perhaps, in the world. It begins in July, when the decree that installs the Republic of Carnival is issued. It ends in January with theTestamento (testament), the Entierro del Calabazo (burial of the gourd), and the Quema del Diablo (burning of the devil), which also mark the end of the guarapo or chicha (sugar cane liquors) spell and the end of the devil’s reign until… the next Carnival.
The decrees, the convocation, the devil’s entrance, the carnival groups, and the testament are a succession of events that make the Carnival a unique feast for the senses, a meeting of rivers of people that unite to enjoy a highly esthetic cultural expression.

THE MAGIC OF PRECOLUMBIAN GOLD


THE MAGIC OF PRECOLUMBIAN GOLD



The metalworking industry played a very important Role in determining the itinerary and settlement patterns of the Spanish Conquerors of Latin American. The information the Spaniards got from the Indians about the location of mineral deposits marked the direction of the voyages of discovery and conquest. In Colombia the desires of the Spaniards were stimulated by the treasures of the Muisca chiefs and High priest in the Sinú valley, and the gold armor of The Indian warriors from the South of Antioquia and The North of Caldas. They took the religious art of the Indians and reduced it to ingots that were sent to Europe. 

Among the native metal workers of South America, The settlers of today´s Colombian territory achieved the highest artistic expression. The techniques they used and their finely finished products gave them the reputation of the best goldsmiths in America. 

For the Indians, the gold they processed had, more than a commercial value, a deep magical religious significance and in many cases was the distinctive sign of political power and social status. 

MUISCA CULTURE 



For the Muisca society, for instance, gold was closely related to the cult of religion. The majority of objects found in the altiplano are offerings, little figures representing men, women and children, miniature ornaments and scenes from social and political life. During religious ceremonies, each piece offered symbolized the favor to be requested. These requests could be personal or communal, and were deposited in isolated, inaccessible places, but always through the local priest, mediator between the people and their gods. 


TAIRONA CULTURE 



The goldwork of Tairona artisans shows men and animals combined in one piece. Many of their pendants represent human figures with animal attributes: bat-men, jaguar-men and bird-men possible showing the desire of men to identify with these animals. It is also possible that they identified specific social groups with a mythical an ancestral relationship to certain animals. 

For today´s Kogis of the Sierra Nevada, descendants of the Tairona, gold is the symbolic potential of fertility, belonging to all members of society. The Sun, the masculine force par excellence, transmits its creative power to gold. 

SAN AGUSTIN CULTURE 



In San Agustin culture, gold working was also related to ceremonial cult. But different from the Muisca, San Agustin gold produced objects and jewels worn by the chiefs of the tribe when they exercised their authority in matters of life and death. By wearing artifacts of gold, they were transformed in deities, superior beings, living statues with all the might of religious power that commands, defends and guides the tribe. 


SINÚ CULTURE 



Part of the production of the Finzenú gold workers was destined for commerce. In this tribe gold played an important role in the ceremonial activities that helped maintain the social cohesion of the peoples of the different groups that made the tribe. Chiefs and priests dominated the ties between the sacred and the social, since in this society; the political, economic and religious powers were closely linked. For this reason they had the primary right to gold. 

THE METALWORKING INDUSTRY

It originated in the Magdalena and Cauca river valleys. The geological formation of these regions determined the existence of rich gold, copper, silver and platinum deposits. The pre-Columbian artisans worked all types of gold, from a pure twenty four carat to a very low-grade gold that has large copper contents, called tumbaga. The tumbaga alloy has special characteristics related to its melting point that are very important for certain types of work: pure gold melts at 1063 ºC, copper melts at 1083 ºC. The mixture of both metals lowers the melting temperature to 800 ºC, making it easier to reach, and thus, facilitating the manipulation of the metals. 

Pieces of pure copper were also common. It is interesting to consider that copper was very appreciated for its technological qualities and esthetic possibilities, since it permitted a variation of colors and tonalities, depending on its degree of fusion. 


GOLDWORKING TECHNIQUES 


One of the most interesting aspects of pre Columbian gold working is the study of the different techniques used by the aborigines to fashion the pieces that are proof of how advanced their technology was at the time of the conquest. Among these, the Lost Wax Method reached very advanced levels, and b because of it, it was possible to “mass produce”” innumerable le pieces similar to each other, like the beads of a necklace. Today´s jewelers still use this method successfully. 

To cast a piece using the melted wax method, a very fine clay model of the piece is prepared and mixed with powered charcoal, over which the design is drawn in all its details. When the design is completed, the model is covered with a very thin sheet of wax. 

On the wax, the finishing details are carved, like braids, hoops, etc. 




Once the wax has dried up, the entire design is “painted” with a covering of more clay and charcoal, leaving a small opening for the melted metal and another for the wax to drain out. When the metal has melted, it is poured into the first opening. The wax melts immediately and is “lost” through the opening made for that purpose. The metal which has entered the clay mold occupies the space left by the melted wax. The metal is then allowed to cool. 

After the metal has cooled down, the mold is broken, leaving the metal sheet that is then polished. The result is a perfect piece of jewelry. 



This technique permits to create the most delicate wax models, and because the outer casing has to be broken in order to extract the metal piece, each cast is an original creation. 



The intrinsic beauty of pre- Hispanic metal treasures is a reminder of the hundreds of years of efforts towards the perfection of metal working techniques.
