Dear friends, as it was intended in the Circuit
Federal of the Venezuelan Federation of Domino "FVD", Saturday 14/06/2014
was held on the premises of the exhibition complex "Camuri Chico",
located in the parish of Caraballeda of the Vargas State, the national
tournament of mixed couples, Copa Dr. HECTOR SIMOSA ALARCON, well known among
his friends as "Carayaca Tiger", rendering thus a simple but sense
posthumous tribute to one of the great figures of the Venezuelan Domino's all
time.
Record, which, in comparison to last year, 252
couples and 504 athletes, overcame in 74 couples and 148 athletes was attended
by 18 State associations from across the country, noting that they involved a
total of 326 couples, i.e. 652 athletes, value.
Brief history of the parish of Caraballeda of
the Vargas State:
The town known as Caraballeda, located in the
State of Vargas, on the coast of the Caribbean Sea, was founded initially in
the lands of the Great chieftain Guaicamacuto, by the Conqueror and Captain
Francisco Fajardo November 18, 1560, on the third voyage made by the mestizo
these litoralenses coasts. Fajardo named the place with the name of Villa of
the Hill, in honor of Governor Pablo Collado, who had generously given its
people and support. Also, it is thought that Collado was named him, because the
village is located on a slope or Hill, and that the Governor is just a comment
to discredit Fajardo, taking by envy, to place it as an adulante to the story.
Later in the year 1568 was rebuilt on the ancient ruins of the city from the
Hill by Diego de Losada and named our Lady of Carballo in honor Patron Saint of
the town of Black River from the bridge, in Zamora (Spain), which was the
birthplace of Diego de Losada.
Geography:
The area of the parish of Caraballeda is 82.1
square kilometres; It is a relatively flat site close to the sea, and this
characteristic is due to the contribution of materials by water currents from
the Serranía. These materials are sedimentaron forming cones that at one time
were covered with crop and forests, and today are the seat for the development
of residential areas for permanent residents and tourism development.
Caraballeda sits in a highly seismic zone where
earthquakes of the 11 June 1641 that happened to the 8 and 15 in the morning;
on October 21, 1776, at 4 and 30 in the morning; on March 26, 1812, at 4 and 17
in the afternoon, and on October 29, 1900, to 4 and 42 in the morning, caused
serious damage but without leaving almost victims, because being an Indian
village with huts of thatched roof, many farms and few inhabitants, he allowed
that you apart from the shockthe losses were lower by the quality of the
housing.
Culture:
The feast of San Juan, on June 24 of each year,
is the largest population of Caraballeda and other villages in Venezuela, and
it is held in the season of the summer solstice when the rains fall in
abundance and new planting already is in the fields. In Caraballeda this
festival is celebrated with great rejoicing, but has slightly lost its original
candor, because the proximity of hotels this celebration has become a tourist
attraction. They play the drum for more than one week and the revelers dance
through the streets almost always without the Holy. He is called San Juan here
the Congole and its color is brown. A large mass celebrated on the day of the
Holy and then the women dance with the statue of San Juan in the head and the
typical dance is "Stand there". The music that dominates the culture
of the inhabitants of Caraballeda is drum, among them the best known is the
grouping "Drum Caribbean".
