Midnight Fire at Zulueta (EN/ES)

Las Parrandas de Zulueta is one of the most notable and prestigious, within these traditional festivities in the Villa Clara Province,Cuba.
They emerged around 1894 and are currently celebrated on December 31.
The Fiesta is a friendly competition between two neighborhoods: La Loma (Chivos) and Guanijibes (Sapos) represented by the colors Red and Blue respectively.
The main attraction for me as a photographer is the fireworks launches and all the pyrotechnic effects.The gunpowder gases dominated the ambience creating a very cinematic atmosphere.
They started the morning before at 7am and finished the launches at 6am the morning after.The most persistent team that continues the show without stopping is the winner, so this is was an epic fireworks battle.Hello dear friends of Black and White lovers, today for the #Monomad Challenge I´m glad to share with you some pictures of my documentary trip to Zulueta.
