The new King and Queen of Cozumel Carnival 2009 were elected on Saturday,
in an extraordinary night of fantasy, joy and music.
Manuel Santana Espinoza and Ana Gabriela Arana Martín were elected
at the loud and spectacular event, against the backdrop of more than 6,000
people screaming. |
|
 Spectacular dances. |
The six candidates all appeared in breathtaking Carnival costumes, first Roxana,
then Ana Gabriela, Manuel Santana, Karely, Joel and Daniel, all demonstrating
why they should represent the 130-plus year tradition of Carnival in Cozumel.
 Jubilant King and Queen. |
|
Their magnificent multi-colored outfits, full of fantasy, captured
the audience with the music and movement, and the roar of Carnival filled
the Moby Dick hall.
|
As the island’s legendry Banda Cuzamil continued playing,
large lines formed to cast votes, and the candidates watched on anxiously.
|
When the votes were counted, Joel and Karely were elected King and Queen
of Joy, and Daniel and Roxana the King and Queen of Fantasy, following the
long tradition of Carnival that has been handed down from generation
to generation on the island. |
|
 Outfits full of fantasy. |
 Over 130 years of tradition. |
|
But it was Manuel Santana and Ana Gabriela that stole the night, elected finally
as King and Queen.
They went straight back to the dancefloor
after the results were announced, to dance the night away.
Something
they will be doing a lot of over the next few weeks. |
