Merry Christmas and happy new year 2009

Dear Friends, on behalf of the Folk Miromagnum you send the best wishes for a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year 2009.

I want to do so recalling the 1st article of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, which on December 10 2008 took 60 years.

"All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights. They are endowed with reason, conscience and should act towards one another in a spirit of brotherhood. "

For, these festivities can bring with it a message against indifference!

First of all came to the gypsies and I was happy because rubacchiavano.

When they came to take Jews and stayed silent because I was disagreeable.

When they came to homosexuals and I was relieved because I was annoying.

When they came to take the communists and I said nothing because I was not communist.

One day came to take me and there was nobody left to protest.

(Bertolt Brecht)

Merry Christmas and happy new year

The President
Marcello Perrone

Alea iacta east .... "Adopt the tradition"

"Alea iacta est" is a Latin phrase that is translated in English as "The die is cast!" This sentence - became famous especially in the version in Italian - is taken as the motto and quotes when you take a decision which does not can withdraw.

Yes! Last night after about 2 years of planning, the group Fokloristico Miromagnum started work engraving of the new audio CD at the TSA Antonio Deodato. The work is part of a broader project called "Adopt the tradition."

The project aims to "enhance and promote our territory." The curiosity is as ……

The Miromagnum has pointed to the creation of a true network in support of the project. The partners that have been given their support are: Calabria Region nell'Assessorato of Tourism, The Daily of Calabria, the Municipal Administration of Mormanno, the University of Calabria - Faculty of Economics of Tourism, the company "Torre di Mezzo "The pastry Silvana, Salumificio Coinasa, Radio LatteMiele and many others ....

The project has to be the achievement of a box containing a selection of songs more characteristic of our tradition, specially rearrange, a dvd video and many other surprises. Each track will be associated with a company / organization who believed in. Through this instrument we want as carriers for the better to appreciate our land, our typical products and of course the companies that produce them. Again we take inspiration from those before us has done something like this and reported in the popular folk music Parthenopean. An example for all the work done by Italian Renzo Arbore el'Orchestra.

In collaboration with the UNICAL - Faculty of Science Tourism is also expected to organize a conference before the launch of the box, on "How to consolidate the strengths of the territory using the levers and the event, the territorial brand and image of the site host.

The distribution of the box, however, will be attached to the newspaper "Daily of Calabria." The radio promotion, throughout the South Italy, will be curated by Radio broadcasters LatteeMiele, RadioAzzurra, RadioItalia 60s, etc ...

So meat to cook there really so much! What say, let us know what you think, enter your comments in our blog .... bear witness that we are a people of how best to paint!

We will see in the finals ... Mormanno Record of the country!

In the seventh consecutive week of participation in the transmission of rai2 in Southern Family has halted the series of victories in Mormanno challenges between the towns of Italy. It was the town of Three (in the province of Vercelli) to halt the long-Mormanno march began in the first broadcast in September.

The race was nice and exciting. Mormanno part well in the first round on Saturday by winning the medal race el'ennesima (the tenth-representing absolute primacy -). In the decisive race on Sunday Mormanno is always ahead in partial but the game, you know, it is decided in the final when the two municipalities competitors' hands to go. " Three of those hands are quick, too much for our kids one by one are eliminated. Latest hopes in the "strappacoppa", the game of the shower. Lorena is good at keeping time but not enough to avoid the shower, the return said that after the water was warm but for all Mormanno was still a "frost shower!

Thus ending the spotlight on the piazza Umberto I, a transmission end the atmosphere is somewhat 'mesta, the scene of the technicians who dismantle cables and equipment is usual but this time is the last. The directors and conductive, usually dynamic, frenetic, you do not go to a friendly delay, after all the weather is nice in the beautiful sunny autumn day. Consumed the rite of some souvenir pictures' to talk of the country, a few words on the episode and particularly affectionate greeting and goodbye. See you then, because the adventure is not over: What's in the spring for the final stages to which access Mormanno sure.

Among the positive note of this experience will certainly beautiful friendship that boys from study linked with competitors in other municipalities to show that Italy of the "Thousand Campanili", from south to north, is much more united and positive Country disrupted the chronicle tells us. Then a warm greeting to all the friends of S. Pellegrino Terme (BG), Bibbione (LI), Satriano of Lucania (PCS), Lanuvio (RM), Eminence (BG), Vigarano Mainarda (FE) and the Final Three (VC).

The Mayor is asked: "and if we were to continue ..."

Cosenza? Ah, you ... near Mormanno. Rome? Yes, yes ... north of Mormanno! Play well Magalli unexpected popularity of common Pollino. Of course, is known sagacity conductor, but the Mormanno people makes pleasure! Six consecutive weeks in the transmission of presence in south-Family on BBC2 every Saturday and Sunday from 11:30 to 13:00-recording average audience of about two million viewers across the country can not fail to leave their mark. Perhaps the sky line of non-Mormanno tower will be known as one of Manhattan but week after week entered the homes of Italians as enough to become an applicant and family.

A global phenomenon: with RAI International viewers in Latin America. The drafting a tender RAI receives mail from an Mormanno people emigrated to Brazil: "I rise at six in the morning, along with my family, to revise my sweet country." From all citizens: good! Keep it up! That beautiful image you are giving our region! The incredible involvement of the many migrants who live outside. Piedmont is the leader of an organization that has done extensive raise averages of televoting in the region. The occasion has strengthened the umbilical cords that bind each “mormannese” to his country and the ancient suffering. Relatives, friends, childhood show for the cameras then receive the call interurban "I have seen, which is pretty strange ... Mormanno on TV, is also seeing all the beautiful!". For the record last weekend, the sixth of participation, the competition was disputed by Vigarano Mainarda (common in the province of Ferrara).

It will be the litmus test of popularity that the transmission in Southern Family has given us. Early findings at the interest and bookings at the facilities me to be a great success of attendance mainly from outside the region. On this exhilarating experience Mayor William Armentano issuing a final consideration: "Mormanno in all these weeks of programming, with scenic composition of our tradition (food, costumes and handicrafts), is launching a promotion that now involves the entire province Cosenza and - if we were to continue - will involve the whole region but especially is saying a positive image and winning of Calabria. The secret of this success should be attributed mainly to the peculiarities of reality “mormannese” that despite a small population of about 3600 inhabitants, counts dozens of associations of great activism. Volunteering and employment leisure organized in associations to take over a significant role in the social fabric of the community has made in recent weeks to respond best to the great effort that the organization of direct links requires. Not secondary also the contribution from those artisans and entrepreneurs who were able to seize the opportunity by enlarging the scope to specific national craft and culinary land. Ben thirty construction stage now set that collected the appreciation of the director and the public: a difficult test which I think Mormanno bait promoted with flying colors. "

Congratulation by Emiliano e Roberto

You exist because there is a tv!

Dear friends, the spirit of the "spot" seems not to fear any competition, Mormannesi dear, congratulations! Mormanno remains unbeaten for the week V below. For many, this vision has rekindled the spirits, hopes and above all the pride of being Mormannese. Many of us have seen and awareness of the potential of this small village, many - thanks to this event - have rediscovered the pleasure of tradition. For us the Miromagnum, all this can only proud but at the same time puts us in a proactive critical condition. We do not want to shut down the spotlight calasse interest, the desire to do, the spirit of cooperation, it would be a pity! We hope that each of us - in our small - can pursue these values, these ideas ... Without "campanilismo", we should put in the "What can I do for my country?" Looking transmission, is perceived to skin the enthusiasm of competitors and the public, it is impossible not to think / hope that this beloved village Mountain can give and do more, returning to the old splendor of a time. To do this, however, there is the need that there is confrontation and encounter. Today this task is left to the director of "Southern family" of front of the television, people will propose engineer for the old and new ideas, happy to accept even a possible "rejection". This is to say that we will collectively for the good of Mormanno not afraid to get in "game" with concrete actions, regardless of what might come out. Descartes wrote an important maxim "cogito ergo sum". Today, seeing what's captain and a Mormanno entering a global view, I would say "You exist because there is a tv! By observing this behavior, we can only ask one question of all: that can get cooperation, the spirit must be proactive and empathetic TV? Hoping that this model can be participatory and fly to many more good work like this, we can only wish all mormannesi a great good luck for the next live on Saturday 25 and Sunday 26.

In these twenty years of festivals, children of Miromagnum well have hosted 96 teams from five continents. The spirit of Miromagnum, explain the same associates, is inherent in its name: "I see big", "I see far".

And to see ever more distant, young folkloristi have created a new event, accompanied by a multimedia theatrical choreography. To better appreciate the value of groups hosted were prepared brief postcards that have described the images through the places of origin. Among the most touching moments that in the Sixth edition of the international prize "Faro allocated this year to Amarelli Rossano, the award-winning manufacturer of licorice, led by Pina Amarelli. "I Miromagnum - says the president Marcello Perrone - have committed more years in the field of marketing and rerritoriale Amarelli in this area has no equal. With this award has wanted to establish a pact of cooperation for the promotion of our beloved land. "

The associations which are exhibited showing a remarkable success are the Asociación Universitaria de Danza El Candii - Spain, Associaciòn Folklorica Wazabara - Venezuela, the Group of Folk Songs and Dances "Zamojszczyzna" - Poland, Africa Djembe - Senegal. Folk Dance Ensemble Miromagnum has transformed its traditional show giving an unprecedented thanks to the daily, assumes that each component independently, according to its competence.

A total commitment that makes trasalire facing small controversy country. "We know - says the group Miromagnum - to produce an event of this kind require human and economic resources. Thanking in advance all those who participated with public and private contributions, we would say that the greatest burden of the event falls on components of Miromagnum. The clarification is due because the same association, which has a system of accounting, is not absolutely be exploited by chicchesia, as happened last year during a council meeting in September. There is much talk about a "Calabria nornale", by positive signals from this land ', we regret very much that no organ of the press has given a minimum of emphasis on the event, while having been alerted in time. It always speaks of loss of values, lack of reference, "Miromagnum" is a reference point for the entire community educating the younger generation to rules and shared values. Forgive the outburst, in our small continue to operate in what we believe, we hope that the next time we will have more luck. "

Vallje - Acquaformosa 05 & 06 Luglio 2008

Le vallje il 5 luglio dalle ore 17:00 per le vie del paese sfileranno 8 gruppi folkloristici

- Frascinetto

- Lungro

- Mongrassano

- San Giuseppe di San Marzano

- Santa Soffia D'Epiro

- San Benedetto Ullano

- Firmoza

il 6 Luglio alle ore 21 si esibiranno gli amici del gruppo Miromagnum di Mormanno. Un'occasione da non perdere, per riscoprire insieme il valore delle "vallje", il senso stesso della "Gjitonia" è una espressione arbëreshe intraducibile; ha un significato socio-urbanistico; nello stesso tempo partecipa di solidarietà, spirito di appartenenza, comunione, come anche di competizione, rivalità e goliardia. Si tratta un pò del corrispettivo delle "Contrade" a Siena, ma il tutto svolto nell'universo arbëresh, ricco di rituali influenzati dalla religiosità bizantina e dal mondo contadino.

Vi aspettiamo!
