Díaz Martínez, Sergio Martín-Cabrera, Luis, 1972-
Description
Sergio Díaz Martínez es miembro de la comunidad de Coyo y desde hace muchos años se disfraza de Doña Carnavala en la fiesta de los carnavales de su comunidad. En la entrevista Sergio explica cómo nació su pasión por disfrazarse de Carnavala y cuál es su papel en esta celebración. Por otro lado, en la entrevista cuenta el significado más profundo de la celebración del carnaval en los ayllus de Atacama, una ceremonia que marca el principio de la cosecha y que se hace para darle gracias a la Pachamama (madre tierra) y que traiga buenas cosechas al año siguiente. Además Sergio cuenta como Don Carnaval representa al volcán Licancabur, el protector de la comunidad, y Doña Carnavala al cerro Kimal, una entidad femenina. El baile entre los dos tiene que ver con la seducción entre dos montañas que garantizan la reproducción y la fertilidad del territorio. — Sergio Díaz Martínez is a member of the community of Coyo, and for many years he has been dressing up as “Doña Carnavala” during the carnival celebrations of his community. In the interview, Sergio explains how his passion to dress up for carnival was born, and what is his role in this celebration. In addition, in the interview, he elaborates on the deeper meaning of the carnival celebration in the ayllus of the Atacama desert, a ceremony that marks the beginning of harvest, and that also serves the purpose of thanking Pachamama (mother earth) so that the next year the community may also have a good harvest. Sergio also tells how “Don Carnaval '' represents the Licancabur volcano, the protector of the community, while “Doña Carnavala” represents the Kimal mountain, a female entity. The seductive dance between the two mountains speaks to their important role guaranteeing reproduction and fertility in the territory.
