Every November, Somoto holds "Carnaval" which is a huge concert/party lasting from 8pm till 5am...or depending when everyone passes out. I don't think there is a large significance of this celebration so much as an excuse to block off the streets of Somoto and throw a huge charade. This year we had Las Nenas, Los Mokuanes, Los Paisanos, a couple Disco Moviles (DJs who play the top hits), and some Mariachi bands. Also this year we had around 15 other PCVs come to visit and party with us, mostly everyone crashed on Matt and Jess' floor next door, as well as the JICA (Japanese Peace Corps) girls from Somoto and Nica friends as well. Nothing epic happened this year, it was a great time to hang out with friends, dance to some non-reggaeton music (reggaeton is like spanish rap), and just have a Salvaje time.
Taeko!!!
