Today's Google Doodle : Shows Carnaval de Barranquilla

To pay tribute to Colombia’s Carnaval de Barranquilla, the present Doodle includes a portion of the brilliant outfits and veils in plain view during this yearly festival of social legacy coming from indigenous, African, and European conventions. Across four days, over a million people will visit Barranquilla on the Caribbean coast to watch drifts, move in the roads, and perhaps partake by wearing a “Marimonda” veil as found in the Doodle fine art.

The advanced Carnaval de Barranquilla is more than 100 years of age and mirrors the inheritance of mixed societies that have molded the city since its foundation almost 400 years back. At its center, merriments get from people customs that show what many consider to be the meaning of being Colombian.

The absolute most huge occasions during the four days are the Batalla de Flores (Battle of Flowers), the Gran parada de Tradición y Folclore (Great Parade of Tradition and Folklore), and the Gran parada de Comparsas (Great Parade of Groups). In acknowledgment of the celebration’s customs, UNESCO regarded the Carnaval de Barranquilla by naming it a World Masterpiece of the Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity in 2013.

Appreciate the bright sights and nearby music like Cumbia originating from the numerous amplifiers and buoys!
