Fuelled by caña and spicing up any festivity, our Joselito takes its name and spirit from the legendary reveller of the Barranquilla carnaval here in Colombia. During Carnaval, Joselito dances and drinks for three days without returning home to so much as change his underwear. When he finally collapses from exhaustion, the people sew him up in a shroud and mourn, thinking he’s dead … but he emerges bleary-eyed just before they lower him into the ground, bellowing “No estaba muerto, estaba de parranda!” “I wasn’t dead, just partying!”
