こんにちは！元気ですか？この写真は女の子たちがフェスティバルに参加しているところです。顔を黒く塗っています。他の人たちも、同じようにしています。他の人たちが、貴方の顔を黒くしようとしたらそれから逃げられますか？もし、顔を黒くしたくなかったら、苛々して悪い言葉を言いませんか？私は顔を黒くするのは、嫌いですね．．．

Good day to all blog viewers! Have a pleasant day to all. This is the usual approached of people celebrating dinagyang festival. They painted their faces as what you will see on the picture. Other people might paint your face also, but somehow you can ran to escape from what they will do to you. Sometimes you might say bad words coz don’t want to be painted and you become irritated. Some faces cannot be recognized anymore because of different colors of paint and so thick. This is the last recourse where you have difficulty of getting it and I think not good to you. But you still enjoy for the whole event.

Santo Ninoの祭の写真です。Cadiz Cityの１月の第４週の日曜日にいつも開催されます。朝早くから起きて、黒い色にペイントし、カラフルなコスチュームを着ます。ドラムの音に併せて踊ります。ストリートダンスコンテストもマスの後、朝8時から昼まで行なわれます。女の人は、少しだけ参加します。

Dinagyang is a festival of thanksgiving in honor of the Santo Nino. This is usually held every fourth Sunday of January in Cadiz City. People wake up very early in the morning, paint themselves in black, wear very colorful costumes and headress, and dance to the hypnotizing beat of the drums. Tribes circle the entire city proper of Cadiz, performing in 5 judging areas. The streetdance competition starts at 8 in the morning right after the Holy Mass, and usually ends in the afternoon. Because of the extreme heat and the physical demands of the streetdance, only few women dare to join as an ati or warrior.
