Love, Freedom, and Liberal Internationalism Are Possible. Sunday, May 04, 2014. El Maíz Cabanita: El Lampeo (Helping the Plants Grow).

The next part of the cultivation cycle is the lampeo. Given that it involves continuous bending over and digging with a shovel, the lampeo. Subscribe to: P...

Love, Freedom, and Liberal Internationalism Are Possible. Saturday, June 01, 2013. Maiz Cabanita: El Solay/La Siembra (Planting Season) 2. The day of the solay. Doesn't start so early, around 7:30-8:00 (perhaps one reason why it was the aspect of the cultivation cycle I participated in most). The workers gather at the house of the person who is doing the planting, and everyone is served a bowl of caldo. Thick soup, as well as a large glass of chicha. The first of many during the day.
