The worst drought of last 60 years is destroying to Somalia,
Etopía, Kenya and Djibouti. It does not rain from April and the cattle and the
crops have got lost. In Somalia, some basic food has raised 270 % in the last
year, for that, families just can eat once in a day. And the country sinks in a serious food
crisis.
The crisis in the country affects principally the children;
and more than 500 minors run risk of death. For that reason, the refugees'
daily divide for Etíopía and Kenya and there are approximately 1.300 people.
This happen because, in the way, women have been obliged to continue up to the
refugees' camps, leaving his children who cannot continue.
We are worried for the kid’s conditions, they are
weaker people. They have 40 % of surviving.
Then, they will depend exclusively on the humanitarian
help that provides them, under risk of dying during this time
Another problem that these countries have, besides the
food lack, is a poor infrastructure.
She is the patron saint
of the state Zulia- Venezuela!
This fair has a big religious significance to us,
because I think there is no Maracaibo citizen that doesn´t believe in
Chiquinquira, everybody says that she does miracles, and thats very true.
Every November 18, the city celebrates the traditional
Feast of La Chinita with masses and processions in honor of the Virgin.
Some people have their own celebration, they have
parties or dinners with their family and friends, and that is their way to
venerate the Chiquinquira Virgin.
The last two days of the Chinita’s fair are the most
special ones. It is during these days when all the great parties around the
city are held.
According to the tradition, the Chinita reached
Maracaibo through the waves of our lake. The story goes like this: one simple
day in 1749, a humble woman washing clothes on the shores of Lake Maracaibo,
suddenly saw a thin wooden board floating near her, which she picked up
thinking it might be useful to cover the jar of water that was in the hallway
of her house. The next morning, when she was straining the coffee, she heard a
knock as if someone was calling. She went to see what was happening and was
overwhelmed with astonishment to see that wooden board was shining and
appearing on it, the image of Our Lady of Chiquinquirá. For this reason, the
woman began to cry miracle!Miracle!, So hence comes the name of the current
Miracle on Lake Avenue, where the washer lived. After what happened, many
people came to witness this miracle, and so the home of the humble woman turned
into a place of veneration for many believers
Lights along the whole avenue.
“Square of Our Lady of the Rosary of Chiquinquirá”
The month of November is of special significance for
the people of Zulia, It is for this reason that during these days, the GAITA
sounds with particular frenzy and joy. This video is of ALISIA which interprets
the song HABLAME DE MARACAIBO.
HABLAME DE MARACAIBO, ALITASIA
VERSO I
Solo le pido a mi Dios del cielo
Que me de vida y me de garganta
Para cantarle a esta bendita gaita
Por que para eso nací gaitero
Y si es posible virgen chinita
Más que un deseo es mi gran anhelo
Si nací en esta tierra bendita en
Maracaibo me muero
CORO
Hablame de Maracaibo…
Tierra bendita, tierra del viejo
golpe pasmero
Mi patria chica tierra del sol cuna
de gaiteros
Por ella canto por ella vivo por
ella muero…
Hablame de Maracaibo…
Soy solo un niño y a vos te digo que
en mi ciudad
Desde ese puente se ve un gran lago
en la inmensidad
Y en la basílica esta la virgen
Chiquinquirá!
Hablame de Maracaibo…
VERSO II
De la grandeza maracaibera
Voy referencia en mi estribillo
Es que esta gaita la canta un niño
que da la vida por esta tierra,
La catedral la plaza baralt, la
procesión, la calle de aretra
Aun me faltan cosas por contar sigue
escribiendo poeta!!!
CORO
Hablame de Maracaibo…
Tierra bendita, tierra del viejo
golpe pasmero
Mi patria chica tierra del sol cuna
de gaitero
Por ella canto por ella vivo por
ella muero…
Hablame de Maracaibo…
Soy solo un niño y a vos te digo que
en mi ciudad
Desde ese puente se ve un gran lago
en la inmensidad
Y en la basílica esta la virgen
Chiquinquirá!
Hablame de Maracaibo…
VERSO III
Si me escogieron para cantarte
Más que un honor es mi compromiso
Mi Maracaibo es el paraíso
Perdón mi Dios al ser cuasi parte
Y si decidí de esta mi destino
Que me de vida para quererte
El tesoro de los marabinos es para
el mundo su gente
CORO
Hablame de Maracaibo…
Tierra bendita, tierra del viejo
golpe pasmero
Mi patria chica tierra del sol uno
de gaitero
Por ella canto por ella vivo por
ella muero…
Hablame de Maracaibo…
Soy solo un niño y a vos te digo que
en mi ciudad
Desde ese puente se ve un gran lago
en la inmensidad
