Sofía Medeles.- A pesar de las modificaciones impuestas por las autoridades sanitarias para combatir la pandemia del Covid-19, el Carnaval de Ajijic conservará el horario y ruta habitual de las celebraciones.
El encargado de despacho, Maximiliano “Max” Macías Arceo, informó que solo habrá tres días de festejos: los recorridos del 27 y 28 de febrero y el desfile de Martes de Carnaval el primero de marzo.
El domingo y el lunes, las sayacas, personaje principal de la festividad, saldrán a las 11:00 de la mañana de la casa de la familia Campos, ubicada en la calle Hermenegildo Galeana entre Zaragoza y Ocampo.
El contingente tomará las calles Zaragoza, Álvaro Obregón y Ocampo, hasta llegar a los carriles de La Floresta, en el oriente de la población. Por decisión de la Asociación de Charros y para evitar aglomeraciones, este año se omitirá el “toro de once” y el recibimiento o refresco, eventos que también forman parte de la tradición.
Por otro lado, el desfile del Martes de Carnaval iniciaría igualmente a las 11:00 de la mañana en los carriles, atravesando el pueblo por Ocampo, pasando por la plazoleta de las Seis Esquinas, tomando Hidalgo para terminar en la plaza principal de Ajijic.
Asimismo, Max Macías compartió que al menos se contará con la participación de diez carros alegóricos, sin descartar que pudieran sumarse otros.
“Pocos se inscribieron, pero me hicieron saber de sus participaciones. Según el orden de inscripción se acomodarán los carros del desfile, esto para mantener un orden”, agregó.
Además, pidió a los asistentes del desfile usar cubrebocas, así como tratar de dispersar los tumultos en cuanto pase el desfile.
“La Mesa de Salud (de Jalisco), puso restricciones y lejos de ignorarlas, hay que hacer esfuerzo por seguirlas. Estamos reviviendo poco a poco las tradiciones y queremos hacer las cosas bien”, concluyó el encargado de despacho de Ajijic.

Jóvenes danzando al compás de los sones. Foto: Héctor Ruiz.
Héctor Ruiz Mejía.- Tras año y medio de inactividad por la pandemia de Covid-19, jóvenes del Ballet Folklórico Jocotepec, participaron en el Encuentro Internacional de Danza Jalisco, recreando un breve fragmento de la dinámica social que se vivía en el Jocotepec de 1890.
El evento folclórico bajo la dirección del médico Carlos Cuevas Ibarra, se llevó a cabo el 10 de octubre, en la Hacienda San Martín (1733) famosa por su producción de granos, una de las dos haciendas que aún sobreviven en el territorio del municipio de Jocotepec que llegó a tener en aquel tiempo más de cinco.
Al compás de los sones tradicionales como “El Gallito” o “La Ensalada”, interpretados por el Tradicional Mariachi “Los Choznos”, los jóvenes jocotepenses -de los cuales, más de la mitad llevan alrededor de nueve años conformando el Ballet- dieron una revisión del pasado, interpretando la escena de “La Fiesta del Patrón”, historia desarrollada por el Ingeniero Ricardo Aldrete Lozano, quienes a decir de los bailarines, fue difícil recrear la escena.
“Fue interesante pero complicado introducirnos a las costumbres de la época”, dijo Metzli, joven de 20 años, estudiante de expresión dancística y participante del evento, pues uno de los contrastes más pronunciados eran el actuar más “cohibido y sumiso” de las mujeres de aquellos años, así como el nulo contacto físico que existía entre hombres y mujeres, pues era mal visto ante la sociedad.
Uriel, bailarín de 19 años y participante también del evento folclórico, agregó también como la masculinidad de la época generó disonancia en él, pues a decir del joven, «los hombres tenían que ser muy masculinos», la gallardía a la hora de arrojarle a sus pies un sombrero a alguna dama, era puesta a prueba en cada zapateado pues, cada pisada era fuerte y contundente, “que suene”.
Cuevas recalcó la importancia de preservar las costumbres, pues es importante recordar de dónde venimos, entender cómo el pasado es parte de nuestro presente y más que nada, que los jóvenes disfruten de sus costumbres, pero que tomen en cuenta como nuestros abuelos, bisabuelos se desenvuelven en la sociedad. “Tal vez en el futuro, cuando se hagan estudios de nuestras costumbres actuales, hagan recreaciones folclóricas al compás de ‘Maluma’, no lo sabemos, el folclor no es estático, nunca se mantiene igual”, agregó Cuevas.
En el acontecimiento también se contó con la presencia de Ricardo Aldrete, quién colaboró en adaptar la historia; Agustín Olmedo, director emérito y fundador del Ballet Folclórico Jocotepec; así como la presencia del propio Humberto Barocio Fregoso, dueño de la Hacienda.
«Lo que pasa en La Changada se queda en La Changada», dice su lema.
Jazmín Stengel.- La diversión se abre paso con un delicioso aroma a comida que te abre el apetito, induciendo a probar las especialidades de «Chef Cruz», una señora que hace “magia” en la cocina, preparando todos los días un platillo diferente. Utilizar ingredientes frescos amplía la gama de opciones; desde guisos, sopas, caldos, antojitos, hasta snacks al estilo anglosajón o Tex Mex. ¡Ahora sí! En La Changada Bar (ubicada en el centro de Ajijic) se cocina lo que el cliente pide.
Al 2×1 de margaritas (miércoles y sábados de las 6:00 de la tarde a las 10:00 de la noche) son algunas de las promociones que el amplio espacio ofrece a sus clientes, quienes al entrar se encuentran con una sala que queda frente a la cocina, le sigue un escenario (a ras de piso donde hay espacio para bailar cómodamente), luego una larga barra, donde no sólo se puede comer, también se puede degustar de una amplia variedad de bebidas como vinos, tequilas, cervezas y cócteles. Frente a la barra hay un salón con varias mesas que ofrecen una vista privilegiada del escenario donde se presentan agrupaciones que tocan covers de Rock and Roll y Dj´s con sus propias mezclas
Si lo que busca es privacidad, La Changada consiente a sus visitantes con una exclusiva área en el segundo piso. La sala de deportes cuenta con un proyector para ver juegos en formato gigante, próximamente también se planea proyectar funciones de cine. Más adelante se encuentra un balcón al aire libre con vista tanto a la calle como al escenario.
Además, la atmósfera del lugar se presta para comidas familiares durante el día o para reunirse con los amigos y cantar canciones en el karaoke (los miércoles y sábados de 6-9 pm), hasta para pasar increíbles fiestas de noche, que terminan a la una de la mañana. Ya que, lo que pasa en La Changada, ¡Se queda en La Changada!
Los fines de semana, el lugar con domicilio en calle Hidalgo #17 (a media cuadra de la plaza principal) destaca por su variedad musical como el sonido de Seductora V5 (música versátil) que se presentará este sábado 25 de septiembre o como el de Zona Cuba, que se presentará este viernes 24.
Para finalizar el recorrido, Kent Pillsbury, propietario del lugar, nos ha expresado su gusto por la música original y el deseo de abrir el escenario a nuevos talentos locales como grupos de Jazz y música para bailar como la que tocan La Sopa o King Pachuco, agrupaciones que alegran los Viernes de La Changada.
La Changada (Hidalgo 17, Ajijic) está abierto de miércoles a domingo de 8:00 de la mañana a la medianoche; lunes de las 8:00 a las 20:00 horas y el martes cerrado. Reservaciones y pedidos al 33 2876 3589. Correo electrónico: lachangadabar.ajijic@gmail.com.
