One of the most important and known character is the Marimonda, originated in Barranquilla, this character is represented by its own dance moves. The costume was created by a poor Barranquillero, this man created it because he couldn't afford any expensive or fancy costumes for the Carnaval. So he decided to take a pair of pants from his older brother, where socks in his hands and a vest backwards. To finish his costume he took a bag made two circles for the eyes and stuck a long nose falling from the eyes. Battle of Flowers, Barranquilla Carnaval.
