Rambo the Abyssinian

This hat and the cloak underneath it were like a spearhead symbolizing what was in the past of real fear and oppression of men and today, I fear to say that this spearhead is no longer except a subject of ridicule during the carnival days that precede Lent in that historic city, where they put the cloak and the hat on the end of a broom and mock them or a foolish person wears them as silly costumes that the common people laugh at. Pedro Antonio takes us back to the magic of oral storytelling where he skillfully transformed a folk tale told by the rural people in a small Andalusian village into a satirical and genius work, redefining ugliness and beauty, and reflecting the spirit of Spanish culture in the nineteenth century.
