00:01:38.556 --> 00:01:40.266
I used to work the night shift.

00:01:40.266 --> 00:01:42.644
We worked
from midnight to 8:00 AM.

00:01:49.025 --> 00:01:51.736
One day, I had that very shift,

00:01:51.736 --> 00:01:53.696
and at 2:00 AM,
the power went out.

00:01:57.826 --> 00:01:59.911
And I had three dogs,
who started to howl…

00:02:03.456 --> 00:02:05.792
Behind that hill,
a person started screaming,

00:02:08.044 --> 00:02:11.172
but it was a horrid voice,
it gave you goosebumps,

00:02:11.422 --> 00:02:12.799
it gave you chills.

00:02:17.887 --> 00:02:19.889
I gathered courage
and went over there.

00:02:20.557 --> 00:02:22.517
I said,
“In God’s name, rest in peace.”

00:02:27.981 --> 00:02:29.524
Only then it…

00:02:29.524 --> 00:02:31.651
…calmed down, stopped crying…

00:02:32.527 --> 00:02:34.696
and after a while,
the power came back,

00:02:35.029 --> 00:02:36.739
the dogs came
wagging their tails,

00:02:36.739 --> 00:02:38.074
it was over.

00:02:43.705 --> 00:02:46.666
In the season of the Carnavalón,
you see him in a suit,

00:02:47.041 --> 00:02:49.085
everyone in town
has seen at some point,

00:02:49.085 --> 00:02:50.920
they say, “There’s a man
in the doorway,”

00:02:50.920 --> 00:02:53.548
I said, “No way,”
and there was the Carnavalón…

00:02:57.176 --> 00:03:00.221
Once I was with my brother
and we heard heavy footsteps…

00:03:00.847 --> 00:03:03.016
…and we went outside
with a stick,

00:03:03.016 --> 00:03:05.685
and no one was there,
just the Carnavalón,

00:03:06.185 --> 00:03:07.061
sitting there.

00:03:15.236 --> 00:03:18.156
And San Miguel was just holes,
because here,

00:03:18.156 --> 00:03:21.868
anywhere they dug
there were mummies.

00:03:24.078 --> 00:03:26.956
Almost all of San Miguel
is a cemetery.

00:03:28.499 --> 00:03:32.128
They built a town,
almost on top of the cemetery…

00:03:34.839 --> 00:03:37.342
It was like
a cemetery everywhere.

00:03:44.766 --> 00:03:47.518
My mom arrived in 1968,
more or less.

00:03:50.355 --> 00:03:53.399
She believed in all that,
she believed in the dead…

00:03:53.816 --> 00:03:56.569
…that they visited her,
all of that, understand?

00:03:59.238 --> 00:04:00.531
She had that gift...

00:04:00.907 --> 00:04:03.159
…that her dreams
communicated with her.

00:04:05.620 --> 00:04:07.038
When she dreamt,

00:04:07.288 --> 00:04:09.707
She’d say, “This is what
the Carnavalón wants,”

00:04:10.416 --> 00:04:12.585
“he wants to do this,
this has to be done,”

00:04:14.337 --> 00:04:16.547
And whatever he said
in the dreams came true.

00:04:20.551 --> 00:04:22.053
My mom brought her traditions

00:04:22.053 --> 00:04:24.764
and her traditions stayed,
they’re not going anywhere.

00:04:27.475 --> 00:04:28.643
They’re here for good.

00:04:44.450 --> 00:04:47.328
“Unearthing”

00:05:18.067 --> 00:05:20.945
Hello neighbors,
good evening to you all.

00:05:21.112 --> 00:05:25.867
We’re going to address you
before we begin the unearthing

00:05:25.867 --> 00:05:29.579
of Ño Carnavalón,
right, who is buried here…

00:05:31.164 --> 00:05:33.666
…year after year,
during Carnival.

00:05:34.542 --> 00:05:37.378
We’re forgetting our matriarch,

00:05:37.754 --> 00:05:40.381
Mrs. Albertina
is here with us today,

00:05:40.381 --> 00:05:43.885
she is here every year,
observing us, watching us…

00:06:56.999 --> 00:07:01.003
Ño Carnavalón, with all faith,
wholeheartedly, mother of faith,

00:07:01.045 --> 00:07:04.507
is going to illuminate you,
to give you strength…

00:07:06.509 --> 00:07:08.886
because you’re
making yourselves present

00:07:08.886 --> 00:07:12.974
with the all the care and faith
you have in your souls.

00:07:50.511 --> 00:07:52.096
We are going to do “wilanche”.

00:07:52.180 --> 00:07:54.056
“Wilanche”, as it’s called…

00:07:55.474 --> 00:07:58.227
…is one of
our traditional customs,

00:07:59.103 --> 00:08:02.481
we are treating Mother Earth,
the Pachamama,

00:08:02.940 --> 00:08:04.317
to a wilanche.

00:08:07.653 --> 00:08:09.030
Alright, we’re ready.

00:08:19.415 --> 00:08:22.501
Okay, there is the custom,
come on rooster, cut it.

00:08:22.501 --> 00:08:24.337
The knife is dripping,
go, go, done!

00:08:24.921 --> 00:08:26.756
Okay, to the floor!
To the floor!

00:08:26.756 --> 00:08:28.883
That’s it!
Jallalla, jallalla, jallalla!

00:08:29.550 --> 00:08:31.260
Come on, come on,
little rooster!

00:08:32.261 --> 00:08:33.930
Chama, chama,
chama, chama, chama!

00:08:36.307 --> 00:08:37.975
That was it, where did it go?

00:08:41.062 --> 00:08:42.855
Lumbanga says it is leaving now,

00:08:42.897 --> 00:08:46.192
you’ve witnessed our custom,
the custom of the family.

00:08:46.525 --> 00:08:48.611
Thank you very much
ladies and gentlemen,

00:08:48.611 --> 00:08:50.238
Lumbanga family, for your visit…

00:08:51.906 --> 00:08:54.951
…to the humble home
of Mrs. Albertina.

00:08:56.786 --> 00:08:58.120
Thank you, thanks family.

00:10:14.113 --> 00:10:17.366
I was born here in Pachica,
then I was brought to Bolivia.

00:10:23.914 --> 00:10:26.042
My grandfather took me.

00:10:26.042 --> 00:10:27.501
“Ch'alla Tuesday”

00:10:27.501 --> 00:10:29.712
My mom didn’t come with me.

00:10:30.880 --> 00:10:32.298
She stayed in Pachica,

00:10:32.298 --> 00:10:35.676
then she came back
when I was six.

00:10:39.013 --> 00:10:41.599
“Daughter” she said,
“I don´t know you ma’am” I said,

00:10:41.599 --> 00:10:44.769
because it’s true,
she didn’t raise me.

00:10:45.144 --> 00:10:47.855
My grandmother took over
when I was one and a half,

00:10:48.689 --> 00:10:51.275
so I grew up
with my grandpa and grandma.

00:10:52.985 --> 00:10:56.155
So she came
and called me daughter, “No,”

00:10:56.489 --> 00:10:58.699
“I don't have a mother,” I said.

00:11:02.286 --> 00:11:04.246
“I’m your mother…”

00:11:05.664 --> 00:11:06.874
She told my grandma,

00:11:06.916 --> 00:11:09.377
“Mother-in-law,
tell her I’m her mother”

00:11:10.086 --> 00:11:11.337
“She’s your mother”...

00:11:11.962 --> 00:11:13.464
“She’s not going
to forgive you,”

00:11:13.464 --> 00:11:14.965
“she’s resentful.”

00:11:16.217 --> 00:11:18.552
“She’s tough, very tough.”

00:11:21.972 --> 00:11:23.474
It’s the way I am,
I don’t like it

00:11:23.474 --> 00:11:25.768
when someone causes me harm.

00:12:29.206 --> 00:12:31.000
I was selling beer,

00:12:32.460 --> 00:12:35.796
Then… a policeman arrived,

00:12:36.922 --> 00:12:38.174
and gave me a fine.

00:12:40.092 --> 00:12:42.303
Then I was hurt and sad.

00:12:42.887 --> 00:12:45.222
Why did this
have to happen to me?

00:12:46.265 --> 00:12:49.268
I started crying,
I cried quite a bit.

00:12:51.854 --> 00:12:54.732
Then at night, in my dreams…

00:12:56.609 --> 00:12:58.402
…the Carnavalón
appeared and said,

00:13:00.112 --> 00:13:03.866
“What happened wasn’t meant
to happen to you,”

00:13:04.825 --> 00:13:08.162
“It should have happened
to the group, not to you.”

00:13:10.206 --> 00:13:13.042
So, then it was over,
and I said…

00:13:13.083 --> 00:13:15.794
I started… crying and all,

00:13:15.794 --> 00:13:19.089
“Don’t cry”, he told me,
“because I want…”

00:13:19.173 --> 00:13:21.675
“ …you to be well…”

00:13:22.885 --> 00:13:26.847
“You can legally
believe everything,” he said,

00:13:26.847 --> 00:13:27.973
“because…”

00:13:29.141 --> 00:13:32.937
“…that’s what I like,
to be adored,” he told me.

00:13:33.354 --> 00:13:34.939
That’s why I know,

00:13:35.981 --> 00:13:38.025
because I dreamt about him.

00:13:39.568 --> 00:13:42.988
He was alive, he was crying,

00:13:43.656 --> 00:13:45.991
so I lent him my blanket
in the dream

00:13:45.991 --> 00:13:47.618
and wiped away his tears.

00:14:13.644 --> 00:14:16.981
No, but… is this two bunches?

00:14:17.314 --> 00:14:19.441
Yes, there are two there.

00:14:22.111 --> 00:14:24.363
But you’re going to
give me carnations, right?

00:14:24.363 --> 00:14:27.575
- Yes, I will, ma’am.
- “Mama”, do you want this?

00:14:33.706 --> 00:14:36.166
Do you have
any pretty white ones?

00:14:36.166 --> 00:14:37.543
There’s a pretty white one.

00:14:39.795 --> 00:14:42.631
Oh, are you
taking pictures of me?

00:14:44.341 --> 00:14:47.886
You are the matriarch
of San Miguel de Azapa.

00:14:49.722 --> 00:14:52.766
It’s not a joke,
she’s the queen of Carnival.

00:15:03.736 --> 00:15:05.529
How much for
the sahumerio?

00:15:10.075 --> 00:15:13.078
I have this one... $7,000

00:15:14.622 --> 00:15:16.206
Which one is for the house?

00:15:16.582 --> 00:15:17.958
They’re all for the house…

00:15:18.417 --> 00:15:20.919
- This one comes in squares…
- How much is this one?

00:15:20.919 --> 00:15:23.672
This one costs $4,000, it comes
in squares and…

00:15:23.672 --> 00:15:25.674
- How much is it?
- $4,000.

00:15:25.758 --> 00:15:26.925
Four thousand?

00:15:27.676 --> 00:15:29.219
- This one?
- It costs seven.

00:15:29.219 --> 00:15:30.471
- Huh?
- Seven.

00:15:31.180 --> 00:15:33.724
- Seven thousand.
- I’ll take it.

00:16:37.871 --> 00:16:40.207
Is that me sitting there?

00:16:40.624 --> 00:16:42.584
- No
- Yes, that´s you.

00:16:42.584 --> 00:16:46.046
- Yes, and Jesusa.
- And that’s my aunt, Regina.

00:16:46.255 --> 00:16:49.508
- Who’s that? Is that me?
- That’s my aunt Regina.

00:16:51.385 --> 00:16:52.845
- Yeah
- Me?

00:16:52.845 --> 00:16:54.471
You don’t recognize yourself?

00:16:54.471 --> 00:16:58.183
I do, but I have that sweater,
that’s why I ask.

00:17:00.561 --> 00:17:03.105
There’s the old man.
Look, Floro!

00:17:06.150 --> 00:17:07.359
That’s my old man…

00:17:08.235 --> 00:17:10.904
…the same one that appears
in this photo, here.

00:17:14.658 --> 00:17:17.870
They got me interested.
“Auntie,” he said. “What?”

00:17:18.871 --> 00:17:21.373
“Can we dance at Carnival?”
“Yes, of course”.

00:17:21.957 --> 00:17:23.667
“Since we’re not going
to Bolivia,”

00:17:23.667 --> 00:17:25.127
“because of work”, he said.

00:17:26.295 --> 00:17:29.048
Then sure, done, let’s go.

00:17:29.048 --> 00:17:32.676
We’ll dance at home,
at church, everything

00:17:32.676 --> 00:17:34.511
We’ll do it properly.

00:17:35.596 --> 00:17:39.850
Later, after a couple of years,
the Carnavalón was handed to me.

00:17:41.935 --> 00:17:44.813
Because of our dancing,
simple as that.

00:17:46.273 --> 00:17:49.109
With lots of paper ribbons,
with lots of…

00:17:50.778 --> 00:17:55.616
confetti, everything!
We danced a lot, ate a lot.

00:17:56.241 --> 00:17:59.328
They were… from Bolivia,

00:17:59.328 --> 00:18:03.290
everyone was
nieces, cousins, etc.

00:18:04.625 --> 00:18:06.085
That was my start.

00:18:12.549 --> 00:18:13.550
Floro!

00:18:14.218 --> 00:18:15.427
Mom, stop…

00:18:17.221 --> 00:18:19.014
This one can’t do anything
by herself.

00:18:19.014 --> 00:18:20.057
Who is this?

00:18:20.682 --> 00:18:22.392
- It’s you!
- Me?

00:18:22.392 --> 00:18:23.685
And my old man, yes.

00:18:24.436 --> 00:18:25.521
So young?

00:18:26.563 --> 00:18:27.397
What?

00:18:27.397 --> 00:18:29.233
Why did you like
that picture better?

00:18:29.233 --> 00:18:31.485
Because… we’re both in it.

00:18:31.860 --> 00:18:33.111
My old man and me.

00:18:33.987 --> 00:18:34.988
Right?

00:18:35.322 --> 00:18:36.323
It’s nice.

00:18:36.824 --> 00:18:37.950
And that’s that.

00:18:38.575 --> 00:18:41.036
And do you visit him
at the cemetery?

00:18:42.287 --> 00:18:44.998
Ah yes, I always visit,
it’s pretty close.

00:19:09.189 --> 00:19:11.024
What’s the word? A shaman…

00:19:11.275 --> 00:19:13.443
A shaman handles
several types of…

00:19:13.861 --> 00:19:17.698
…tables, sweet tables,
white tables, black tables.

00:19:20.450 --> 00:19:23.912
So, the black table does
pure evil, the other, pure…

00:19:24.121 --> 00:19:28.083
My father was a white shaman,
who did more good than evil,

00:19:28.625 --> 00:19:30.586
he tried to help people.

00:19:31.336 --> 00:19:32.921
When someone’s mood is low,

00:19:33.589 --> 00:19:35.549
their spirit leaves them,
they say,

00:19:35.549 --> 00:19:37.092
and they would recover it,

00:19:37.092 --> 00:19:39.136
and, like a butterfly,

00:19:39.386 --> 00:19:40.762
put it back inside the body,

00:19:40.762 --> 00:19:42.681
and the child’s spirit
is lifted again.

00:19:43.807 --> 00:19:45.392
My dad knew about these things.

00:19:46.268 --> 00:19:48.937
Because… we come from a family…

00:19:49.354 --> 00:19:52.274
…where both father and mother
do those things.

00:19:52.524 --> 00:19:54.985
My great-great grandfather
was Domingo Flores,

00:19:54.985 --> 00:19:56.320
a healer, a witchdoctor,

00:19:56.320 --> 00:19:58.655
that traveled around
Peru, Bolivia, everywhere,

00:19:58.655 --> 00:20:00.157
and was well known.

00:20:00.157 --> 00:20:03.452
He was very famo… rather…
He was one of the big ones.

00:20:04.077 --> 00:20:06.538
That’s how my old man learned.

00:20:08.373 --> 00:20:10.792
There was a girl that
got possessed by the devil,

00:20:11.501 --> 00:20:14.421
a young girl, 16, 17,
the devil had gotten into her.

00:20:14.922 --> 00:20:16.131
So my dad…

00:20:16.882 --> 00:20:19.092
…went to get the devil
out of her body.

00:20:19.092 --> 00:20:21.845
He went over,
did a ceremony on her…

00:20:21.845 --> 00:20:24.389
it has to be somewhere…

00:20:24.389 --> 00:20:26.099
where there aren’t
a lot of people.

00:20:26.099 --> 00:20:28.727
He told me, “Francisco,
the devil fled up the hill,”

00:20:28.727 --> 00:20:29.686
I got him out…”

00:20:30.103 --> 00:20:33.190
and a month later,
my dad passed away.

00:20:34.483 --> 00:20:36.652
And then the last dream I had,

00:20:36.652 --> 00:20:40.572
I was in paradise,
there was tons of alfalfa, lamb,

00:20:40.572 --> 00:20:43.742
my dad was joyful there, happy,
he said, “God forgave me.”

00:20:45.202 --> 00:20:46.286
“I’m happy here.”

00:20:48.830 --> 00:20:51.375
And then he left, for good.

00:20:55.212 --> 00:20:58.507
My mom was also a witch,
but also a white witch,

00:20:58.507 --> 00:21:01.426
but she read
coca leaves and cards.

00:21:02.052 --> 00:21:03.637
And she told it like it was.

00:21:03.929 --> 00:21:06.848
I mean, she… didn’t lie.

00:21:07.766 --> 00:21:12.020
And many people from Arica came,
that was years ago,

00:21:12.020 --> 00:21:14.815
people from Arica, teachers,

00:21:14.815 --> 00:21:18.151
doctors, who spread the word
and she read their cards.

00:21:18.610 --> 00:21:21.279
And what she told them
came true.

00:21:21.697 --> 00:21:24.116
it was what…
was going to happen.

00:21:25.742 --> 00:21:29.162
My mom and dad didn’t
get along very well because…

00:21:29.788 --> 00:21:31.748
My dad… I don’t know…

00:21:32.165 --> 00:21:35.252
they had problems
between them that I…

00:21:35.377 --> 00:21:37.671
I don’t know what happened, but

00:21:37.796 --> 00:21:39.548
they separated.

00:21:41.299 --> 00:21:43.552
They never lived together again,

00:21:43.677 --> 00:21:46.638
my dad lived in his room,
separately,

00:21:46.638 --> 00:21:49.016
my mom in her room,
also separately.

00:21:49.850 --> 00:21:51.893
My mom wanted
nothing to do with him,

00:21:51.893 --> 00:21:54.813
he wanted to be with her
but he couldn’t.

00:21:56.314 --> 00:21:58.191
To her, there was no way back.

00:21:58.483 --> 00:22:02.320
He begged her to take him back
and she said no.

00:22:02.320 --> 00:22:03.405
Just no.

00:22:03.780 --> 00:22:05.532
And that’s how it was
all his life,

00:22:05.532 --> 00:22:07.075
they never got back together.

00:22:08.452 --> 00:22:11.288
My dad ended up
alone in his room,

00:22:11.580 --> 00:22:15.542
he died almost alone
we visited him, but…

00:22:16.293 --> 00:22:19.171
he didn’t have my mother’s love,
which he wanted most,

00:22:19.212 --> 00:22:20.380
her love.

00:22:43.862 --> 00:22:45.614
There’s a tradition, where

00:22:45.655 --> 00:22:49.284
when the dead passed away,
a long time ago,

00:22:49.284 --> 00:22:50.660
you’d make them a little table.

00:22:53.580 --> 00:22:55.248
You'd have to give them…

00:22:55.582 --> 00:22:59.795
…serve them a stew,
whatever that person liked.

00:23:02.714 --> 00:23:05.759
They say they come
to Earth for a while,

00:23:06.009 --> 00:23:09.012
to stop by,
but that’s in November,

00:23:09.012 --> 00:23:12.265
or maybe before that;
my dad had a hard time leaving,

00:23:12.766 --> 00:23:15.477
they don’t believe
that they’re dead, I think.

00:23:15.852 --> 00:23:17.979
because it was very hard
for him to leave,

00:23:17.979 --> 00:23:20.315
I felt his presence beside me.

00:23:20.315 --> 00:23:22.192
The bathroom
used to be there,

00:23:22.192 --> 00:23:24.277
you could feel
his presence there,

00:23:24.653 --> 00:23:27.489
I felt his presence there,
in Floro’s bed,

00:23:27.489 --> 00:23:29.241
because he didn’t
leave Floro alone,

00:23:29.241 --> 00:23:31.451
night or day,
he was always with Floro.

00:23:31.743 --> 00:23:34.871
in bed he’d lift up the covers
and lie down beside him.

00:23:36.123 --> 00:23:39.751
My dad was very strong,
very much a shaman,

00:23:39.876 --> 00:23:42.087
there was a chance
he could take us with him,

00:23:42.337 --> 00:23:45.507
so my mom gave us all
a black and white thread to wear

00:23:46.341 --> 00:23:47.592
to avoid that problem.

00:23:49.177 --> 00:23:51.930
But myself especially,
and everyone in the house,

00:23:52.681 --> 00:23:53.598
even she wore it,

00:23:53.598 --> 00:23:55.559
because they say
black and white thread

00:23:55.559 --> 00:23:56.893
separates life from death,

00:23:57.269 --> 00:23:59.771
that way no one can touch you.

00:24:01.273 --> 00:24:04.109
There is a tradition
that when a person dies

00:24:04.234 --> 00:24:06.236
they can take
three people with them.

00:24:06.236 --> 00:24:07.571
So to avoid that problem,

00:24:07.612 --> 00:24:09.239
they wore
black and white thread,

00:24:10.240 --> 00:24:12.868
and after a month
you burn it, done.

00:24:13.493 --> 00:24:14.536
Everything is cut.

00:24:16.079 --> 00:24:18.165
When the time comes,
everything is burned.

00:24:26.381 --> 00:24:28.216
Alright…

00:24:30.427 --> 00:24:33.013
One here, one there…

00:24:35.307 --> 00:24:39.144
By the way,
after we buried my dad,

00:24:39.269 --> 00:24:41.563
my mom got sick.

00:24:42.189 --> 00:24:44.149
She’d never been bedridden.

00:24:44.316 --> 00:24:46.610
So we were scared,
we said, “Oh no,”

00:24:46.610 --> 00:24:48.195
“he wants to take her.”

00:24:48.904 --> 00:24:52.032
And fortunately,
thank God, she got out of bed

00:24:52.032 --> 00:24:54.492
on the third day, more or less.

00:24:55.869 --> 00:24:58.622
Your spirit is sitting there.

00:25:03.585 --> 00:25:07.923
You’re happy again, the flame
is moving back and forth.

00:25:12.177 --> 00:25:14.763
We come here, to visit my dad…

00:25:14.763 --> 00:25:18.475
- This one kisses me, too…
- …on the day of his death,

00:25:18.475 --> 00:25:20.227
on July 3rd.

00:25:20.727 --> 00:25:23.772
- And… not long ago we came to….
-Who Who’s in there?

00:25:23.772 --> 00:25:27.025
…celebrate his birthday…

00:25:27.025 --> 00:25:29.277
- He also passed away…
- My mom Jesusa’s dad.

00:25:29.277 --> 00:25:32.530
…We think of him a lot,

00:25:32.530 --> 00:25:35.283
because he was
a good man, a fair…

00:25:35.825 --> 00:25:37.285
…man, an honest man…

00:25:37.285 --> 00:25:39.537
Go ahead and serve him,
he’ll come.

00:25:39.537 --> 00:25:40.622
…affectionate…

00:25:42.123 --> 00:25:44.334
Is there any cilantro?

00:25:45.168 --> 00:25:48.004
Why don’t you move that light?
Can you place it there?

00:25:48.004 --> 00:25:51.007
Can you put it there?
Or tie it, is that possible?

00:25:52.259 --> 00:25:53.551
You’re not eating?

00:25:53.551 --> 00:25:56.179
- Will you eat now, Floro?
- Yes.

00:25:56.179 --> 00:25:57.681
No, no, the kids.

00:26:06.648 --> 00:26:07.691
Thief!

00:26:10.068 --> 00:26:12.112
The Carnavalón’s
going to punish you

00:26:12.112 --> 00:26:14.155
because you didn’t ask anyone.

00:26:15.615 --> 00:26:17.867
You have to ask me permission.

00:26:20.453 --> 00:26:23.748
Carnavalón is going to
punish you for your audacity.

00:26:31.006 --> 00:26:32.674
Oh, it’s so cold!

00:26:33.675 --> 00:26:36.636
It was down there,
it’s colder than natural,

00:26:37.429 --> 00:26:39.055
I haven’t put it on ice.

00:26:59.492 --> 00:27:00.827
Oh, how beautiful.

00:27:01.411 --> 00:27:04.164
You didn’t bring any beer
for the Carnavalón?

00:27:04.164 --> 00:27:05.874
No, you leave it there.

00:27:06.624 --> 00:27:09.169
That’s what it’s about!

00:27:09.169 --> 00:27:11.713
You don’t just
throw it down at a distance.

00:27:13.673 --> 00:27:15.008
There you go.

00:27:18.011 --> 00:27:20.013
You have to leave there,

00:27:20.680 --> 00:27:24.017
so that he sees
whether it’s real or fake.

00:27:47.040 --> 00:27:50.377
Luck of mine…
Luck… of everyone!

00:27:50.502 --> 00:27:52.962
Oh, he's so happy, look!

00:27:55.673 --> 00:27:57.467
Incredible, isn’t it?

00:27:57.801 --> 00:28:00.553
Here, there is one... is bad

00:28:00.553 --> 00:28:02.639
But both of them are on top...

00:28:06.559 --> 00:28:07.894
Oh, how pretty!

00:28:13.233 --> 00:28:15.652
You’re very lucky,
Achachi.

00:28:19.739 --> 00:28:20.907
You see?

00:28:22.033 --> 00:28:25.161
Everyone wants luck, but…

00:28:26.496 --> 00:28:28.373
But where is it?

00:28:28.373 --> 00:28:30.083
You have to
libate,

00:28:30.333 --> 00:28:33.378
the Carnavalón, feed him,

00:28:33.378 --> 00:28:35.088
make sahumerito,

00:28:35.380 --> 00:28:37.298
but very ignorant…

00:28:37.298 --> 00:28:39.634
…people don’t understand.

00:28:42.512 --> 00:28:43.888
You have to understand.

00:28:45.223 --> 00:28:48.184
You have to comprehend
what you have to do.

00:28:50.895 --> 00:28:54.524
You come to see the Carnavalón
like you’re doing right now,

00:28:55.024 --> 00:28:57.235
you see the Carnavalón,
there he is,

00:28:57.485 --> 00:28:59.070
you see him with your eyes.

00:28:59.237 --> 00:29:00.697
Pour it over!

00:29:00.864 --> 00:29:02.532
- That’s it!
- Wow!

00:29:02.532 --> 00:29:04.325
Oh, both are the same...

00:29:04.492 --> 00:29:08.121
The Carnavalón is alive
this week, until Sunday.

00:29:09.247 --> 00:29:11.458
Sunday he sleeps again.

00:29:16.629 --> 00:29:19.424
- The sahumerio is pretty.
- Yes.

00:29:25.388 --> 00:29:27.015
He depends on you,

00:29:27.015 --> 00:29:28.349
on how you decorate,

00:29:29.350 --> 00:29:31.895
he depends on your affection,

00:29:33.813 --> 00:29:36.816
depends on you
to question your heart.

00:29:40.820 --> 00:29:43.031
It’s not like...

00:29:43.698 --> 00:29:44.824
a joke.

00:29:45.909 --> 00:29:48.203
It’s… a serious matter.

00:31:17.667 --> 00:31:22.297
“Burial”

00:32:15.975 --> 00:32:19.270
Those of us at the house
do this because of grandma,

00:32:19.270 --> 00:32:22.023
because grandma
is the homeowner.

00:32:22.315 --> 00:32:24.442
and we’re her grandchildren…

00:32:24.692 --> 00:32:27.820
What else
are we going to do there?

00:32:28.404 --> 00:32:33.117
And that’s why we’re
more involved now… Mono, Eric,

00:32:33.284 --> 00:32:35.536
Taking on
different responsibilities.

00:32:35.536 --> 00:32:39.499
We’re not usually
that present, but…

00:32:39.624 --> 00:32:42.752
So we dress him up
but each of us has its own…

00:32:43.169 --> 00:32:44.003
…own faith.

00:32:45.296 --> 00:32:48.800
But we do it… in that sense…

00:32:48.800 --> 00:32:51.594
…following the traditions
or what little is left of them

00:32:51.594 --> 00:32:55.264
because it’s been lost over
the years, it’s different now.

00:32:56.099 --> 00:32:58.893
That’s what grandma
has been good for,

00:32:58.893 --> 00:33:01.187
she teaches us
the traditions as they are.

00:33:01.354 --> 00:33:03.439
So they’ve been preserved
thanks to us.

00:33:22.917 --> 00:33:24.001
Let’s see,

00:33:24.210 --> 00:33:25.545
pass me some coca leaves.

00:33:29.132 --> 00:33:33.219
Let’s see how the Carnavalón is,
happy or what?

00:33:38.266 --> 00:33:41.894
Luck, luck, luck, luck.

00:33:48.109 --> 00:33:51.320
See? Hidden…
something is missing,

00:33:51.320 --> 00:33:52.530
I don’t know what it is.

00:33:55.616 --> 00:33:57.160
Oh, hot coal.

00:33:58.870 --> 00:34:01.122
Sahumerio

00:34:06.586 --> 00:34:09.464
See, when I mentioned sahumerio
it came out like this.

00:34:10.465 --> 00:34:11.382
Look.

00:34:13.259 --> 00:34:15.386
when I mentioned sahumerio.

00:34:24.395 --> 00:34:26.314
Hey, put some hot coal
on the sahumerio,

00:34:26.314 --> 00:34:29.025
that’s what’s missing,
it says so here.

00:34:34.655 --> 00:34:36.407
He has a lot of power,

00:34:36.866 --> 00:34:37.742
the Carnavalón,

00:34:38.367 --> 00:34:41.037
they baptized him
with two bulls,

00:34:42.288 --> 00:34:44.207
and they threw
bull blood at him.

00:34:45.333 --> 00:34:48.628
That’s how that worked,
the whole system.

00:34:50.838 --> 00:34:53.090
My mother
communicated through dreams.

00:34:53.424 --> 00:34:55.092
When she dreamt about him,

00:34:55.092 --> 00:34:58.096
“OK” she’d say, “This is what
the Carnavalón wants,’

00:34:58.096 --> 00:35:00.223
“This is what has to be done.’

00:35:00.223 --> 00:35:01.974
She knew right away.

00:35:03.017 --> 00:35:06.646
That’s why she always said,
“The Carnavalón wants this,”

00:35:06.646 --> 00:35:08.898
“The Carnavalón
was crying in my dream,”

00:35:08.898 --> 00:35:10.191
“so we have to do this,”

00:35:10.191 --> 00:35:12.401
“if not,
things won’t work properly.”

00:35:12.735 --> 00:35:15.112
So everybody listened to her,

00:35:15.112 --> 00:35:16.364
the people from before.

00:35:16.739 --> 00:35:20.284
And everybody followed suit,
they accompanied her and…

00:35:20.576 --> 00:35:23.204
and later
everything came out perfect.

00:35:26.541 --> 00:35:28.709
That’s why he
was from the village before,

00:35:28.835 --> 00:35:30.878
and now he's from the valley.

00:35:31.504 --> 00:35:34.841
The Carnavalón
is from the Azapa Valley now.

00:35:36.259 --> 00:35:38.469
He represents
wellbeing for everyone,

00:35:39.136 --> 00:35:41.222
a good harvest, good rain…

00:35:43.808 --> 00:35:46.435
wellbeing for the family,
all that.

00:35:46.686 --> 00:35:49.063
That’s what
these carnivals represent…

00:35:50.481 --> 00:35:51.399
…overall.

00:37:16.734 --> 00:37:18.945
Here, I don’t know, I..

00:37:20.112 --> 00:37:21.739
As long as I can remember…

00:37:22.990 --> 00:37:24.951
I’ve known Mr. Carnavalón...

00:37:25.451 --> 00:37:28.204
…or grandpa, as we call him.

00:37:28.871 --> 00:37:30.790
We’re spent several years
with him now,

00:37:30.790 --> 00:37:33.918
since I was a kid, playing,
learning the tradition,

00:37:34.293 --> 00:37:37.380
learning how to
unearth the Carnavalón,

00:37:37.380 --> 00:37:38.839
to bury the Carnavalón.

00:37:41.467 --> 00:37:45.012
A lovely experience,
worth telling my daughter about,

00:37:45.471 --> 00:37:47.473
my grandchildren later on,
God willing.

00:37:48.057 --> 00:37:52.186
In summer we wait for the rain,
so that the river comes down.

00:37:52.645 --> 00:37:55.231
And when
the tarkas start playing,

00:37:55.231 --> 00:37:56.315
the clouds appear,

00:37:57.024 --> 00:37:59.568
two days, three days,
and the river comes down.

00:37:59.694 --> 00:38:01.821
Happiness for
the whole valley, you see?

00:38:01.988 --> 00:38:04.115
He brings happiness
to the whole valley…

00:38:04.240 --> 00:38:06.283
…The Carnavalón.
He’s the grandfather,

00:38:06.283 --> 00:38:08.369
Mother Earth’s husband.

00:38:09.036 --> 00:38:10.538
And once a year we…

00:38:10.997 --> 00:38:13.374
I mean, not us, but grandma,

00:38:13.708 --> 00:38:15.876
Misses Albertina is
the one that gives us…

00:38:16.669 --> 00:38:19.130
…happiness to live
with what we have

00:38:19.130 --> 00:38:20.589
because ultimately…

00:38:20.589 --> 00:38:25.511
she’s the Carnvalón’s
lady and protector.

00:38:25.845 --> 00:38:29.432
Without her, without
her history, it’d be nothing.

00:38:29.765 --> 00:38:32.268
I think,
that’s my point of view.

00:38:35.563 --> 00:38:38.024
Villarroel, “A”, “A”!

00:38:41.318 --> 00:38:44.238
Keep on dancing,
keep on enjoying,

00:38:44.238 --> 00:38:47.158
Villarroel, “A”, “A”!

00:38:47.867 --> 00:38:53.706
Thirst, thirst, we’re thirsty!
Thirst, thirst, we’re thirsty!

00:40:42.565 --> 00:40:45.151
You always have to think…

00:40:45.609 --> 00:40:47.528
When I was six years old,

00:40:47.987 --> 00:40:49.655
my grandma asked me,

00:40:49.822 --> 00:40:51.699
“Do you want to have money?”

00:40:51.949 --> 00:40:53.033
“Yes”, I said.

00:40:53.701 --> 00:40:55.327
“OK, do this.”

00:40:56.162 --> 00:40:58.747
“Take care of people’s babies…”

00:41:00.124 --> 00:41:02.251
“shepherd people’s lambs…”

00:41:03.002 --> 00:41:05.421
“…bring people firewood.”

00:41:05.921 --> 00:41:09.550
Then they ask you
if you want groceries or money,

00:41:09.800 --> 00:41:11.427
and I would say, “Money.”

00:41:12.511 --> 00:41:15.139
Money, whenever possible.

00:41:16.098 --> 00:41:18.851
And I kept it here…

00:41:19.268 --> 00:41:22.146
I didn’t even have a bra,
I was still a little girl.

00:41:22.146 --> 00:41:25.065
Just a little thread tied up,
well fastened, inside there.

00:41:25.482 --> 00:41:27.276
I collected it there.

00:41:27.610 --> 00:41:31.197
“Well, well, you have money!”
my grandma would tell me.

00:41:31.489 --> 00:41:33.908
“Yes,” I told her,
“I have my money.”

00:41:35.367 --> 00:41:37.995
What about your husband,
what was his livelihood?

00:41:38.329 --> 00:41:42.374
He planted here and there,
never made any money.

00:41:44.001 --> 00:41:47.171
Never.
Besides, he was a ladies’ man.

00:41:47.463 --> 00:41:50.216
Maybe he gave the money
to the women.

00:41:52.259 --> 00:41:55.763
Not to me, that’s why
before he died, he told me,

00:41:57.306 --> 00:42:00.935
“You’re very proficient.”
“Why?”, I asked.

00:42:02.102 --> 00:42:05.147
“Look, you bought yourself land,
what else do you want?”

00:42:07.233 --> 00:42:09.485
“You bought it
with your own money,”

00:42:10.069 --> 00:42:12.363
“I didn’t help you at all,”
he said.

00:42:13.489 --> 00:42:17.534
“So what are you good for,
just fathering babies?”

00:42:18.869 --> 00:42:21.205
“Yes, I’m only good for that.”

00:42:39.890 --> 00:42:41.976
Now we’re going to wait here.

00:42:55.489 --> 00:42:56.991
All that happened.

00:42:59.743 --> 00:43:03.789
There, it’s done…
How many years working with me?

00:43:05.040 --> 00:43:07.710
The year 1968…

00:43:09.420 --> 00:43:12.047
It was done and that’s it.
There I was.

00:43:18.929 --> 00:43:22.349
I’ll take Carnavalón’s word
because I dreamt about him…

00:43:28.439 --> 00:43:29.606
If not…

00:43:30.107 --> 00:43:32.901
I would say… as a lady said…

00:43:33.819 --> 00:43:36.697
They were dancing,
her husband was playing.

00:43:38.282 --> 00:43:42.119
Then I was holding the shovel
when we were burying him,

00:43:42.411 --> 00:43:43.996
I came up front.

00:43:44.371 --> 00:43:47.166
I told her, “We already
buried him, a moment ago”.

00:43:47.750 --> 00:43:51.128
So then the lady
was standing at the door.

00:43:51.795 --> 00:43:54.923
With her daughter.
“Ahhh,” she said,

00:43:55.591 --> 00:44:00.220
“You’re burying that rag?”
she said, “You should burn it!”

00:44:01.347 --> 00:44:02.890
She said it loudly.

00:44:03.682 --> 00:44:06.685
Then I kept quiet,
I didn’t respond.

00:44:07.227 --> 00:44:08.645
I went inside.

00:44:09.146 --> 00:44:11.148
Not a month later
the daughter died,

00:44:11.148 --> 00:44:12.816
and the mother two months later.

00:44:14.443 --> 00:44:16.528
He punished them, firmly.

00:44:17.905 --> 00:44:20.282
This Carnavalón is...

00:44:20.282 --> 00:44:24.119
…deadly,
don’t go thinking he’s so-so.

00:44:24.953 --> 00:44:26.830
They just died…

00:44:27.289 --> 00:44:28.916
The fault is not mine.

00:44:34.922 --> 00:44:36.382
If I die...

00:44:37.257 --> 00:44:38.717
go...

00:44:39.426 --> 00:44:41.595
Jesusa is going to take over.

00:44:43.889 --> 00:44:45.516
And if she doesn’t, Floro will.

00:44:48.811 --> 00:44:52.481
I might die suddenly,
since I have so many illnesses.

00:44:54.274 --> 00:44:57.236
This is why
I adore Carnavalón, because…

00:44:58.404 --> 00:45:02.449
maybe that’s why I am alive,
I should have died, right?

00:45:02.574 --> 00:45:04.743
My mother died at 31,

00:45:05.035 --> 00:45:07.371
my grandma died at 61.

00:45:08.872 --> 00:45:13.460
They were younger
than me, I’m 78.

00:45:15.170 --> 00:45:19.341
I’m going to turn 79 next year.

00:45:22.136 --> 00:45:24.930
I thank God I’m happy,

00:45:24.930 --> 00:45:27.808
because I even bought
my piece of land.

00:45:28.725 --> 00:45:31.562
That’s what my old man said
before he died.

00:45:32.271 --> 00:45:35.023
“Where have you seen a woman
buy her own piece of land?”

00:45:35.023 --> 00:45:36.191
There it is.

00:45:38.444 --> 00:45:41.447
All that has happened to me,
the dream, everything.

00:45:44.158 --> 00:45:45.951
Beautiful is my story.

00:48:39.625 --> 00:48:44.254
Good night Manuelito,
good night, your mercy.

00:48:44.630 --> 00:48:49.801
Good night Manuelito,
good night, your mercy.

00:48:50.093 --> 00:48:52.638
Your little shepherds
are arriving,

00:48:52.763 --> 00:48:55.223
kneeling at your feet.

00:48:55.474 --> 00:48:58.018
Your little shepherds
are arriving,

00:48:58.143 --> 00:49:00.604
kneeling at your feet.

00:49:01.146 --> 00:49:06.276
So, good night,
let’s worship baby Jesus.

00:49:06.526 --> 00:49:12.115
So, good night,
let’s worship baby Jesus.

00:49:31.385 --> 00:49:36.056
Oh, the way my mother left.

00:49:52.030 --> 00:49:53.865
Villarroel “A” marching band…

00:49:55.033 --> 00:49:56.910
…Is present…

00:49:56.910 --> 00:49:57.828
…tonight.

00:49:58.704 --> 00:50:00.580
Rest in peace
Mrs. Albertina.

00:50:14.428 --> 00:50:17.264
Gentlemen, can we stand up

00:50:17.347 --> 00:50:19.891
This is a traditional custom, that

00:50:19.891 --> 00:50:23.562
that the deceased knew,
Mrs Albertine.

00:50:23.979 --> 00:50:27.607
She also taught us
this... kind of ritual.

00:50:29.776 --> 00:50:31.570
Mrs. Albertina, rest in peace.

00:50:33.488 --> 00:50:37.492
I thank you and we thank you
for your trust.

00:50:37.826 --> 00:50:40.078
The bond that you made.

00:50:41.163 --> 00:50:43.415
Uniting families…

00:50:45.125 --> 00:50:46.626
…in these carnivals,

00:50:46.626 --> 00:50:49.254
and in every carnival
over the years.

00:50:50.255 --> 00:50:56.094
We know maybe you’re sitting
by us, watching, observing.

00:50:58.305 --> 00:51:01.600
And here we are…
accompanying you.

00:51:04.644 --> 00:51:08.774
Just as Mrs. Albertina
always liked, and…

00:51:10.942 --> 00:51:14.446
These types
of traditional customs…

00:51:15.489 --> 00:51:17.365
…here in the valleys.

00:51:26.666 --> 00:51:28.168
Jallala, Jallalla.

00:52:21.721 --> 00:52:25.475
Happy birthday to you,

00:52:25.892 --> 00:52:29.896
happy birthday to you,

00:52:30.397 --> 00:52:35.569
happy birthday, dear Grandma,

00:52:35.944 --> 00:52:40.365
happy birthday to you.

00:52:59.634 --> 00:53:01.928
After everything
I’ve gone through in my life,

00:53:01.928 --> 00:53:06.516
to me, Grandma… she left happy.

00:53:06.516 --> 00:53:11.187
We played Dina Paucar for her,
which she liked.

00:53:11.521 --> 00:53:14.357
Te took her out
to the garden on her bed,

00:53:16.026 --> 00:53:18.403
all her grandchildren
ran around her.

00:53:20.488 --> 00:53:22.032
She cleaned my soul.

00:53:23.241 --> 00:53:25.994
She leaves me at peace
for all my life because…

00:53:26.995 --> 00:53:28.914
I made her feel good
until the end,

00:53:28.914 --> 00:53:30.957
and she left happily,
I know she did.

00:53:31.207 --> 00:53:35.587
She was also happy
with the Mass, with the people.

00:53:37.714 --> 00:53:40.342
I have to be strong, and…

00:53:40.842 --> 00:53:42.469
and I won’t fall,
because she always told me,

00:53:42.469 --> 00:53:44.846
“You have to be strong,
to have your own money,”

00:53:44.846 --> 00:53:46.598
“you’re a grown woman.”

00:53:47.057 --> 00:53:50.060
“Don’t ever let a man
bring you down…”

00:53:50.060 --> 00:53:51.978
“…just because
you don’t have a degree.”

00:53:51.978 --> 00:53:55.523
And as she raised my mother,
she raised me.

00:53:56.483 --> 00:53:59.069
She raised my grandchildren,
she helped me.

00:53:59.611 --> 00:54:03.490
I say goodbye today with joy,
because she left happily.

00:54:03.490 --> 00:54:08.078
She sighed three times,
and sighed and looked…

00:54:08.078 --> 00:54:14.542
And she left happily, at peace,
clean, pretty… relaxed…

00:54:14.751 --> 00:54:18.171
And with her music…
everything she wanted.

00:54:21.299 --> 00:54:24.970
You, you are my life,

00:54:24.970 --> 00:54:27.973
with your sword and your power.

00:54:27.973 --> 00:54:30.976
I’ll reach your feet

00:54:30.976 --> 00:54:34.312
showing you my faith.

00:54:34.312 --> 00:54:38.191
We are Diablada de Honor,

00:54:38.441 --> 00:54:41.027
dancing this song,

00:54:41.319 --> 00:54:43.780
and carrying the illusion.

00:54:43.947 --> 00:54:49.953
Our hope is over there,
long live San Miguel.

00:54:50.829 --> 00:54:55.500
Come singing, come dancing;
grace, joy and heart.

00:54:55.959 --> 00:54:59.004
Clap your palms
for we have arrived

00:54:59.004 --> 00:55:02.173
We are
the Diablada of the heart.

00:55:07.345 --> 00:55:10.724
Don’t throw dirt at her!
Don’t throw dirt at her!

00:57:21.312 --> 00:57:23.982
Yael is going to carry
my mom’s clothes,

00:57:23.982 --> 00:57:27.277
and those who want to
say goodbye to her can do so.

00:57:43.710 --> 00:57:45.503
There’s Diego,
have him say goodbye.

00:57:45.503 --> 00:57:46.504
Diego, say farewell,

00:57:46.504 --> 00:57:49.090
as if my mommy
were saying goodbye to you.

00:57:53.428 --> 00:57:54.804
Farewell.

00:57:56.681 --> 00:57:58.433
All the best…

00:57:59.142 --> 00:58:01.311
I hope that you’re peaceful.

00:58:14.991 --> 00:58:16.075
Grandma.

00:58:16.075 --> 00:58:19.787
Now we have to
let you go, sister,

00:58:20.538 --> 00:58:23.249
and farewell, sister,
all the best.

00:58:24.417 --> 00:58:25.710
Have a nice time.

00:58:31.007 --> 00:58:33.801
Albertina, fly far…

00:58:36.763 --> 00:58:38.932
but don’t take me.

00:58:40.433 --> 00:58:42.852
Anyone want to say goodbye
to my mother?

00:58:46.856 --> 00:58:50.068
Mrs. Albertina, fly high,

00:58:50.443 --> 00:58:53.238
and always take care of Jesusa,
she was your daughter,

00:58:53.238 --> 00:58:55.281
who was always by your side,

00:58:55.990 --> 00:58:57.200
and Florencio.

00:58:57.408 --> 00:58:59.953
Bless all your children,
your grandchildren.

00:59:00.286 --> 00:59:02.664
You taught us
great lessons here,

00:59:03.331 --> 00:59:04.916
and beautiful traditions.

00:59:04.916 --> 00:59:07.877
I hope they don’t die with you.
May them remain here.

00:59:08.586 --> 00:59:09.837
Bless us all.

00:59:10.797 --> 00:59:13.299
As I always told you,
Mrs. Albertina,

00:59:13.299 --> 00:59:14.550
have a good journey.

00:59:19.180 --> 00:59:21.641
Goodbye, Mommy, farewell.

00:59:22.350 --> 00:59:24.352
Goodbye, Grandma. Thank you.

00:59:31.150 --> 00:59:35.780
Goodbye, Grandma, farewell,
and have a good journey.

01:00:54.484 --> 01:00:56.361
This is where Grandpa should be.

01:01:43.074 --> 01:01:45.368
Where is the director?

01:01:56.295 --> 01:02:00.091
We will dance at this Carnival

01:02:00.091 --> 01:02:01.676
with the strength of the sun,

01:02:02.009 --> 01:02:04.429
at this party,

01:02:04.429 --> 01:02:07.390
with this marching band,
Villarroel A.

01:02:07.807 --> 01:02:12.437
Let’s sing, dance
drinking beer,

01:02:12.603 --> 01:02:16.065
cholita, hurray Villarroel A.

01:02:53.686 --> 01:02:57.857
I want to make a remark,
since it’s first time…

01:02:58.524 --> 01:03:00.359
…the first time
without my mother,

01:03:01.027 --> 01:03:03.863
whom I miss very much,
you all knew her,

01:03:04.238 --> 01:03:06.032
and you know how she was.

01:03:06.032 --> 01:03:09.494
She always liked this tradition,
and fought for it.

01:03:09.994 --> 01:03:12.330
And I will continue
with my mother’s tradition,

01:03:12.330 --> 01:03:14.457
because she asked me to
when she was alive.

01:03:14.457 --> 01:03:17.084
My mom will move on,
the town will move on.

01:03:17.502 --> 01:03:19.629
The tradition
was born here in town,

01:03:19.629 --> 01:03:21.881
and the town will
carry on with the tradition.

01:04:12.598 --> 01:04:16.936
When I see him it’s
as if they were here.

01:04:17.353 --> 01:04:20.523
Just as if they were closer…

01:04:20.898 --> 01:04:23.109
…close to him, that is…

01:04:24.485 --> 01:04:27.780
When my dad was alive,
he also told us,

01:04:28.823 --> 01:04:34.620
“Imagine you see a little bird,
or a butterfly…”

01:04:34.620 --> 01:04:36.998
“…it’s because
a soul is around.”

01:04:45.006 --> 01:04:46.882
So I also think
it was like this,

01:04:46.882 --> 01:04:50.011
because he says that you
are reincarnated in something,

01:04:50.428 --> 01:04:53.347
even in a fly, he said.

01:04:54.307 --> 01:04:58.436
He said they come to visit you
after they die.

01:04:58.436 --> 01:05:01.355
But the soul
is always here, he said.

01:05:01.355 --> 01:05:03.024
It’s next to you, always.

01:05:03.274 --> 01:05:06.110
To take care of you,
anything like that.

01:05:06.110 --> 01:05:07.028
Always.

01:05:10.865 --> 01:05:11.824
But…

01:05:12.408 --> 01:05:17.246
Her death truly hurts
me a lot. I still feel her.

01:05:17.788 --> 01:05:20.583
I can’t fully accept it.

01:05:21.125 --> 01:05:24.629
Sometimes I’m at home
and I look through her pictures,

01:05:25.254 --> 01:05:27.840
and I start crying,
and that’s why many times,

01:05:27.840 --> 01:05:30.176
I don’t even want to
look at her pictures.

01:05:31.761 --> 01:05:34.889
I don’t know if it’s because
I miss her too much,

01:05:34.889 --> 01:05:36.724
I don’t know if…

01:05:36.724 --> 01:05:39.935
Sometimes I dream about her,
a handful of times.

01:05:40.353 --> 01:05:42.355
Sometimes I also see
her silhouette,

01:05:42.355 --> 01:05:45.441
but I don’t know
if it’s my imagination,

01:05:45.441 --> 01:05:47.485
or I’m really seeing her,
I don’t know.

01:05:50.655 --> 01:05:52.323
It happens to me
in the cemetery.

01:05:52.323 --> 01:05:55.910
I go there and I feel very bad,
even if it’s daytime.

01:05:58.537 --> 01:06:02.541
Because she has told Jasmin,
“Come see me, you don’t come.”

01:06:03.000 --> 01:06:05.294
“And when you come”, she said,

01:06:05.294 --> 01:06:08.005
“I’m beside you
with your grandpa,”

01:06:14.136 --> 01:06:16.013
And I think that those lessons

01:06:16.013 --> 01:06:17.973
are to continue
with the traditions,

01:06:17.973 --> 01:06:21.310
because you can’t leave aside
the traditions she left us.

01:06:21.310 --> 01:06:24.063
Because in those traditions
that she left us,

01:06:24.397 --> 01:06:25.773
she lives.

01:08:14.924 --> 01:08:19.136
We’re going to say a prayer for…

01:08:20.054 --> 01:08:22.723
…for the eternal rest
of my mother,

01:08:22.723 --> 01:08:25.851
who taught us how to do
this beautiful tradition.

01:08:28.103 --> 01:08:31.065
Because the deceased
come hungry this time of year,

01:08:31.065 --> 01:08:32.733
and we have to
prepare them food,

01:08:32.733 --> 01:08:35.486
and if the candles cry,
they say they’re crying as well.

01:08:35.486 --> 01:08:37.863
In this case
the candles aren’t crying,

01:08:37.863 --> 01:08:39.907
if I’m seeing correctly,

01:08:39.907 --> 01:08:41.826
I don’t see the candles crying.

01:08:42.827 --> 01:08:47.122
When they appreciate the offering
that is given to them,

01:08:47.122 --> 01:08:49.166
they come down
to see us for a while.

01:08:54.004 --> 01:08:58.717
Maybe she’s beside us
at the moment, watching us.

01:09:00.511 --> 01:09:03.264
And maybe she’s
sitting next to us,

01:09:03.264 --> 01:09:06.183
and we can tell her
that we miss her a lot.

01:09:12.148 --> 01:09:13.858
Thank you mom
for being here today,

01:09:13.858 --> 01:09:16.110
I know you’re here,
because she's always said,

01:09:16.569 --> 01:09:20.155
that the family comes,
and this is the date of arrival.

01:09:23.617 --> 01:09:26.328
Hear our prayers,
Albertina Felipe Cáceres

01:09:26.328 --> 01:09:27.830
and Antonio Flores Mollo.

01:10:41.237 --> 01:10:45.950
Graveyard keeper, let me pass

01:10:47.868 --> 01:10:51.497
to my mother's grave

01:10:53.332 --> 01:10:56.919
I wish to see her,
and talk to her

01:10:57.002 --> 01:11:01.090
and tell her all my sorrows.

01:11:03.592 --> 01:11:07.513
I wish to see her,
and talk to her,

01:11:07.513 --> 01:11:11.475
and tell her all my sorrows.

01:11:15.020 --> 01:11:18.774
I only bring you a wreath,

01:11:21.610 --> 01:11:25.739
a wreath with sunflowers.

01:11:28.200 --> 01:11:31.829
And my songs
I come to sing to you,

01:11:31.829 --> 01:11:35.791
and tell you all my sorrows.

01:11:37.084 --> 01:11:40.546
And my songs
I come to sing to you

01:11:40.546 --> 01:11:44.675
and tell you all my sorrows.

01:11:47.136 --> 01:11:49.596
Those who have a mother,

01:11:49.596 --> 01:11:51.974
they all carry red flowers,

01:11:51.974 --> 01:11:57.021
those who don’t have a mother,
we all carry white flowers.

01:11:57.271 --> 01:12:01.984
Those who have a mother,
they all carry red flowers,

01:12:01.984 --> 01:12:06.488
those who don’t have a mother,
we all carry white flowers.

01:12:06.488 --> 01:12:07.656
That’s it.

01:12:07.948 --> 01:12:09.658
Let’s see
where’s your clapping?

01:12:09.658 --> 01:12:11.285
That’s it, that’s it, that’s it.

01:12:46.111 --> 01:12:50.074
My friends tell me,
forget that love,

01:12:50.949 --> 01:12:55.496
even my mommy, how she cries
seeing me like this…

01:12:56.080 --> 01:13:00.709
Forgive me mommy,
someday I’ll forget him.

01:13:01.251 --> 01:13:05.589
I must be an idiot
to be crying for your love.

01:13:18.435 --> 01:13:21.230
Cemetery, cemetery,

01:13:21.522 --> 01:13:24.900
give me back my mother.

01:13:25.275 --> 01:13:27.820
Cemetery, cemetery,

01:13:28.445 --> 01:13:32.032
give me back my mother.

01:13:32.574 --> 01:13:38.956
Open those gates soon,
Mr. Gravedigger.

01:13:39.581 --> 01:13:45.712
Open them soon
for I want to pray to my mother

01:13:46.421 --> 01:13:49.633
and put these flowers over her,

01:13:49.633 --> 01:13:52.970
these white lilies.

01:13:53.554 --> 01:13:59.560
And beautiful wreaths
that will crown her altar.

01:14:05.315 --> 01:14:08.485
My mother always had
the option of doing her…

01:14:08.610 --> 01:14:11.405
What we came here for.

01:14:12.030 --> 01:14:13.782
When my father died,

01:14:13.782 --> 01:14:17.411
she came here
and she always instilled in us

01:14:17.786 --> 01:14:19.663
that we bring him food here,

01:14:19.663 --> 01:14:22.249
so we brought things
we cooked at home.

01:14:22.875 --> 01:14:27.880
And maybe she’s watching us
and she knows who, really…

01:14:28.255 --> 01:14:30.174
As the lady was saying there,

01:14:30.174 --> 01:14:31.758
who really appreciated her.

01:14:31.758 --> 01:14:35.137
And that’s why they also
approached us to come today.

01:14:36.013 --> 01:14:37.639
Many people love my mom,

01:14:37.639 --> 01:14:39.892
loved my mom,
and they couldn’t come today

01:14:39.892 --> 01:14:41.894
because, as I told
my brother Floro,

01:14:41.894 --> 01:14:44.146
they couldn’t come
because today is Christmas.

01:14:44.146 --> 01:14:45.564
And my mom…

01:14:45.898 --> 01:14:48.567
Some neighbors from
the pergola also told me,

01:14:48.567 --> 01:14:50.569
“Your mom always wanted
to draw attention,”

01:14:50.569 --> 01:14:51.695
and it’s true.

01:14:51.695 --> 01:14:53.822
She wanted to
attract attention until the end.

01:14:53.906 --> 01:14:56.116
So that she could
be remembered on the 25th.

01:14:56.116 --> 01:14:59.912
We would have been at home
peacefully celebrating…

01:14:59.912 --> 01:15:00.996
…Christmas.

01:15:00.996 --> 01:15:04.708
Now, everything that’s happened
to me since she died,

01:15:04.708 --> 01:15:05.959
is all good.

01:15:06.210 --> 01:15:08.837
And everything indicates
that she’s helping me.

01:15:09.296 --> 01:15:12.758
So everything that’s happened,
is thanks to my grandma.

01:15:13.383 --> 01:15:15.093
Because no one sees that part,

01:15:15.093 --> 01:15:17.304
that sometimes the things
she told you,

01:15:17.596 --> 01:15:20.891
sometimes with time…
they come true.

01:15:21.225 --> 01:15:23.894
And you don’t realize it,
you see?

01:15:23.894 --> 01:15:24.645
So…

01:15:24.937 --> 01:15:28.023
I’m here now, because although
I’d rather be somewhere else,

01:15:28.023 --> 01:15:30.567
it’s because Grandma
brought us together.

01:15:31.151 --> 01:15:34.988
When she told me one day…
“Jesu,” she said. “What?”

01:15:35.405 --> 01:15:38.575
“When I die, don’t go crying!”
and I asked her, “Why not?

01:15:38.575 --> 01:15:43.038
We have to cry because
it’s your funeral, you died…”

01:15:43.455 --> 01:15:44.998
And…

01:15:45.082 --> 01:15:48.502
…She always told me,
“When you cry,

01:15:48.919 --> 01:15:51.880
We don’t rest in peace,
because you’re crying.”

01:15:52.631 --> 01:15:55.509
And God says, “Go back because
they’re crying down there,”

01:15:55.509 --> 01:15:57.719
“You’d better return
because they’re crying”.

01:15:57.719 --> 01:16:00.430
So they walk wander the world
and they never rest.

01:16:00.430 --> 01:16:01.932
They go around and around,

01:16:01.932 --> 01:16:03.141
according to my parents.

01:16:03.934 --> 01:16:08.563
And she told me,
“What I want, when I die,”

01:16:08.563 --> 01:16:12.609
“Drink a lot and dance,”
she said. “And don’t cry.”

01:16:13.443 --> 01:16:17.531
Happy birthday to you,

01:16:17.698 --> 01:16:21.159
happy birthday to you,

01:16:21.285 --> 01:16:22.577
To you, to you!

01:16:22.828 --> 01:16:27.708
Happy birthday, dear Albertina,

01:16:28.000 --> 01:16:32.921
happy birthday to you.
Happy, happy!
