What identity is ours! At the official opening of the Feria de las Flores, the most antioquia festival of the year where everyone exhibits carriel, poncho and sombrero, will be in concert a singer valluna raised in Bogota (Greeicy Rendón), an American of Dominican-Puerto Rican origin (De la Ghetto), a Venezuelan singer Vallenatos Pipe Peláez and the only Antioquian Daniel Calderón, will sing Vallenatos. As if here there was not a group of Antioquia singers, troubadours, comedians and dancers who could best represent the culture of the mountain (if we were talking about the Feria de las Flores) and who would make people love
The Feast of Flowers is celebrated in August because the 11th commemorates the independence of Antioquia (in 1813), which we owe to Don Juan del Corral, born in Mompox. Rionegro was the first town in the department to declare its independence from Spain on February 7 this year.
What today are the lands of Antioquia were part of the northern border of the Inca Empire. When Spanish expeditions became interested in these mountains, some began to penetrate the Caribbean and others to the south. All came in search of gold. There was also the legend of El Dorado, but ours was in the mountains of Buriticá. In fact, when the famous Marshal Jorge Robledo sent the delegation that discovered the Valley Aburrá (not the foundation) in charge of Jerónimo Luis Tejelo, his interest was to find the gold of Buriticá whose Spaniards, already for these first years, had news.
During conquest and colony the mighty mountains isolated this territory from the political concert of America. Medellín was important only in the late 19th century and Antioquia came to shine in the 20th century. The problem is that Antioquia is not Medellín, and just as the centralization of Bogotá damaged Medellin, the centralization in Medellín damaged the development of Antioquia. Turbo, the Caucasus, Yolombó, Santa Fe de Antioquia, Puerto Berrío, Yarumal, Sonsón, Jericó or Garden should be developed medellines. If they were represented at this fair, we could see that Antioquia is, at least, five different cultural countries. A trade show is a perfect place to tell the story, but the ad has plunged some time ago.
