Luego La Defensa Civil 27 de Febrero hizo un simulacro de lo que han aprendido y para terminar con el publico viendo a Little Bryan, otro javielero, cantar. These are the pictures of the musical groups that participated in the event, all of them made up of kids and teenagers from our barrios, or poor neighborhoods. First we have Las Chicas GEXPAYE, from La Javiela; followed by Los Chicos de San Martin, from a neighborhood by the same name; followed by El Movimiento Talento Urbano, from La Espinola; then by Joel Music y Baby Jf , also from La Javiela. This was followed by the junior members of the Civil Defense showing us what they have learned. At the bottom we have a picture of the spectators watching Little Bryan, another javielero, sing. Y mientras todo eso estaba pasando otr@s se divertian comprando y comiendo-and while all of the above was going on others were busy shopping and eating |
La gente comprando la comida que l@s integrantes de GEXPAYE prepararon la noche antes. El menú era jugo de tamarindo; refrescos; arroz con dulce; dulce de maíz pelado; helados de batata con coco; pinchos de queso, jamón y vegetales; palomitas de maíz; gelatina; palitos de queso. Se vendió mucha comida aunque los pinchos y los helados no se vendieron.
People bought a lot of the food the members of GEXPAYE prepared the night before. The menu consisted of tamarind juice; soda; sweet rice; another sweet dish made of corn; home-made ice-cream; kebabs made of cheese, ham and vegetables;gelatine; and cheese sticks. We sold most of the food but for the kebabs and ice-cream which did not sell well.
