Description
La viñeta representa la festividad de la Fiesta de la Cruz trasplantada desde Andalucía a Harlem. El texto subraya cómo se mantienen sus elementos tradicionales de la fiesta: las cruces, la comida, los rituales, la música y el baile que han dado lugar a un evento “acriollado” por los campesinos y plenamente vigente en un contexto iberoamericano que “mantiene incólumes los usos y costumbres en el centro de la gran babel neoyorquina”.
The sketch depicts the celebration of The Feast of the Cross, transplanted from Spain’s southern region of Andalusia to Harlem. The caption underscores that the characteristic elements of the feast were maintained: Christian crosses, traditional foods, rituals, music, and dance. Brought about by members of a rural community, this “criollo” event thrived within an Iberian- American context that “maintains intact its practices and customs at the center of the great melting pot, New York City”.
