La Reinando

Around 2 weeks ago we had the 'Crowning' of the queen of all of Rio San Juan Piquini. There were 5 contestants and a girl from my village won! The way they win is they fundraise for the school, and whoever makes the most money gets the title. Then, we have a big party and the queen and all the runner ups have to dance with a fine young gentleman of their choice(pre-picked, of course). Anywho, here are 3 of the 10 videos I took that day. One is of the queen dancing with her fella(who is actually in fact her older brother), another is the kiddies having a very nice time with all of the toys the adults provided and the last is the Embera girls from my village dancing and singing. You can't really hear them singing over the crowd, and we ran out of light...but hopefully you all enjoy.
