Kākoʻo kēia hōʻike moʻomeheu i ke kākoʻo ʻoihana o ka Institute of Culture and Tourism of the State of Tlaxcala and the Tlaxcalteca Institute of Bullfighting Development.
2. Pehea ke kumu o ka Huamantlada?
ʻO ka Huamantlada mua i mālama ʻia ma ʻAukake 15, 1954, i ka manawa a kekahi mau poʻe huamantecos pā o ka ʻaha koa wiwo ʻole, a ʻo Don Eduardo Bretón González, Don Manuel de Haro, Don Sabino Yano Sánchez, Don Miguel Corona Medina a me Don Raúl González, ʻo kekahi o lākou i ʻike maka i ka Sanfermines, hoʻoholo e hana i ka holo ʻana o nā bipi i Huamantla e like me ka Pamplonada a lākou e hana ai ma Pamplona.
I ka Pamplonada, hoʻokuʻu ʻia nā holoholona mai ka pā a holo i nā alanui a hiki i ka pipi, kahi e kaua ai. I ka holo mua ʻana o ka Huamantlada, ua hoʻoili ʻia he 6 mau hiʻohiʻona mai Piedras Negras, ka wahi hānai bipi kaulana a Tlaxcala me nā makahiki he 150 a ʻoi o ka ʻike i ka hānau ʻana o nā bipi hakakā. ʻO ka pepa mua no Huamantlada i haku ʻia e Manuel Capetillo, Rafael García a me Jorge Aguilar El Ranchero. ʻO kēia ʻano o ka holo ʻana i nā bipi ma nā alanui a hiki i ka wā i lawe ʻia ai lākou i ka bipi kāne e kaua aku iā lākou i mālama ʻia a hiki i ka hopena o nā 1960s, ke hoʻololi ʻia ia ma ke noi a nā mākua.
3. No ke aha i hoʻololi ʻia ai ke ʻano o ka Huamantlada?
No nā makahiki he 10 a ʻoi aku, ua hoʻokō ʻia ka Huamantlada ma ke ala like me nā Sanfermine o Pamplona a ʻaʻole i hiki pinepine nā bipi i ke kahua i nā kūlana maikaʻi loa e hoʻokō ai i kahi hakakā maikaʻi. Hoʻonui ka lehulehu e hele nei i ka hōʻike i kēlā me kēia makahiki, no laila ʻaʻole hemahema o kekahi manawa ʻole i hele i ke plaza i kahi hahau i kahi bipi a ʻaʻole i hōʻea nā holoholona i kahi kūlana maikaʻi loa e kū pono ai i ka bipi kauō, kahi mea hoʻi e hōʻike i kahi pilikia hou no ka matador. Hoʻomaka ka poʻe hakakā bipi e kūʻē a hōʻole i ka hakakā, a hiki i ka hoʻololi ʻia ʻana o kahi ʻano i kahi ʻē aʻe ma hope o ka heihei e haʻalele ʻole ai iā lākou, hakakā ʻia nā bipi kauō i nā pahu ma nā alanui like.
ʻO kekahi mea i loli ka palekana o ka hanana. I ka manawa mua, ua ʻākoakoa nā kānaka i nā alanui e nānā i nā bipi i hala, me ka pale iki. E like me ka hoʻonui ʻana o ka hoihoi i ka Huamantlada, e hoʻonui ana i ka lehulehu o ka poʻe, ua hana ʻia nā mea no ka hōʻoluʻolu a me ka palekana o ka poʻe. ʻO nā alanui kahi e holo ai nā bipi kauō ua kau ʻia ka inoa a kau ʻia nā pā pale a me nā burladeros, a i nā manawa hiki ke kau ʻia nā kū i hiki i kahi ʻāpana o ka lehulehu ke ʻike i ka hana e noho ana. Ua hoʻonui ʻia ka nui o nā alanui i hoʻolaʻa ʻia no ka hoʻolauleʻa bipi a me ka nui o nā bipi i hakakā ʻia, a ua hala ia mai 6 i ka Huamantlada mua i 7, 12, 15, 20, 25 a ʻoi aku ma mua o 30 bipi.
ʻOiaʻiʻo, ʻaʻole paʻa loa ka palekana a me ka poʻe e hele ana i ka Huamantlada e makaʻala i ka hanana i kahi hanana i kahi hanana, no laila he mea nui e mālama me ke akahele loa. ʻO kekahi o nā mea e pono ke hōʻalo nui ʻia ke hoʻāʻo nei e launa pū me ka bipi, keu hoʻi inā ʻaʻohe ou ʻike i ka hana ʻana me kēia mau holoholona koa, e like me ka hihia me ka hapa nui o ka poʻe.
4. He aha ka mea e hana ai ma mua a ma hope hoʻi o ka Huamantlada?
I ka wā o ka Huamantlada, aia ke kūlanakauhale Magical o Huamantla e holo nei i ka Virgen de la Caridad. Hiki paha i ka Huamantlada ke kūlike me ʻAukake 14 a me 15, ke hiki mai ka "Pō e Moʻo ʻole ai kekahi. Ma ka pō o ʻAukake 14, hana nā huamantecos a me nā poʻe mākaʻikaʻi he makaʻala nui, ʻoiai lākou e kuʻi ana i nā alanui e hele ai ka huakaʻi a ka Puʻupaʻa me nā kapeta wahī ʻōniʻoniʻo nani, nā hana maoli nō ia o nā kiʻi kaulana. Haʻalele ka huakaʻi ma kahi o 1 AM ma ka lā 15.
Pēlā nō, hiki iā ʻoe ke hoʻohana i kāu kipa ʻana iā Huamantla i ka manawa o ka Huamantlada, e ʻike ai i nā wahi hoʻolālā hale o ke kūlanakauhale, e like me ka Church of Our Lady of Charity, ka hale pule mua o San Luis, ka Luakini o San Luis a me ka Hale Aliʻi. Pēlā nō, hiki iā ʻoe ke huakaʻi i ka Hale Hōʻikeʻike ʻo Bullfighting a me ka National Puppet Museum, kahi i hōʻike ʻia ma mua o 500 o kēia mau ʻāpana, e hele mai ana mai ka hōʻiliʻili o Rosete Aranda, ka ʻoihana pēpē lōʻihi loa o ka ʻāina. Ua hānau ʻia kēia hui pēpē ma Huamantla ma 1835 a hāʻawi i nā hana a hiki i ka 1958, me kahi mea i ʻike ʻia e Pelekikena Benito Juárez.
Loaʻa paha iā ʻoe ka manawa e ʻike ai i kekahi o nā pā kaua hoʻoulu bipi i kahi noho kokoke loa iā Huamantla a e hānai ana i ke kuko kūloko a me ka lāhui no ka ʻahaʻaina koa me kā lākou mau ʻenemi huhū. A ʻoiai, ʻaʻole hiki iā ʻoe ke kāpae i ka leʻaleʻa i ka momona Huamanteca a me Tlaxcala gastronomy, ʻoiai ke lole nei ʻo Magic Town i ka hāʻawi ʻana i kāna mau kīʻaha maikaʻi a me nā mea inu, e like me mixiote, muéganos a me pulque.
E hauʻoli loa ʻoe i ka Huamantlada!
