ENGLISH

Celebrating Lady of Guadalupe in the little town of Higueras in the northeastern state of Nuevo Leon, Mexico during the Fire Festival which reminded me of the Zoroastrian purification rituals celebrated a week before Nowruz.

ESPAÑOL

Entre sombreros norteños y penachos celebramos anoche a la morenita del Tepeyac en la Fiesta de la Candelilla organizada por el municipio de Higueras en el estado de Nuevo León (en el noreste de México).

ENGLISH

Morocco’s first World Cup classification was in Mexico 1970 where the soccer team sang for the very first time in their history their National Anthem. Previous to 1970, Morocco’s National Anthem only had a musical version since it lacked lyrics. Morocco’s second time in a World Cup was in Mexico 1986 where it classified for the first time ever to the next stage of the tournament in first place of its group, defeating Portugal 3-1. This was a first for an African and Arabic team! .

ESPAÑOL

El primer Mundial en el que participó Marruecos fue el de México 1970 donde sus jugadores cantaron por primera vez en la historia su himno nacional. Anteriormente a 1970, el himno nacional de Marruecos era netamente musical pues carecía de letra. En 1986 Marruecos asiste a su segundo Mundial en Mexico 1986 donde por primera vez clasifica a la segunda ronda con el primer lugar de su grupo venciendo a Portugal 3-1. ¡Marruecos fue el primer país africano y árabe en pasar a la siguiente ronda en un mundial!
