Busó-carneval
In the morning of February 26th, we arrived at the Community House in Mohács, where our hosts were already waiting for us with freshly made donuts, which were prepared for us by the children, parents and mentors by the 3rd group of Mohács. After a short presentation about the Busójárás, they surprised us with a quiz. Then we made traditional masks, which the sokac girls wore and fridge magnets, which looked like little Busó masks. We were just done with our arts when a traditional Busó group came and took us dancing in the backyard. The clothes and essentials of the Busós were presented. After that, we had bean goulash for lunch, in keeping with tradition. In the afternoon, we went through the carnival’s enormous crowd, where we met a bunch of busós, and we were in the audience of a folk dance band. We thank the people of Mohács for the kind hospitality that made us a part of the tradition! We are grateful for the Mohács group and their mentors for the invitation! It was a great way of spending some time together again. Maybe we even managed to drive away the winter! We hope that groups from the region will meet more throughout year and will be able to launch a tradition-building program. See you next time in Pécs!
