💀🎉What’s the Story Behind the “Calaverita Literaria”?

Did you know the origins of the calaverita literaria trace back to 1792? A Franciscan friar, Joaquín Bolaños, published La portentosa vida de la muerte, a satirical take on death. While colonial censorship delayed its evolution, by the mid-19th century, calaveritas emerged as sharp critiques of societal norms.

One of the earliest calaveritas appeared in 1849 in Guadalajara’s newspaper El Socialista, edited by José Indelicato. Writers cleverly mocked the elite and their European-inspired extravagance, demanding justice through humor and irony.

🌼 Paired with illustrations by José Guadalupe Posada (creator of the iconic Calavera Garbancera, later renamed La Catrina by Diego Rivera), these verses became a vibrant expression of Mexican culture.

💡 What Makes Calaveritas Special?
✔️ Rhyming verses filled with irony and humor.
✔️ Playful yet profound reminders of life’s impermanence.
✔️ Often dedicated to politicians, celebrities, or even friends!

📖 Fun Fact: Want to write your own calaverita? Stick to octosyllabic verses with a surprising twist at the end!

💀🇲🇽Celebrate Mexico’s rich tradition this Día de Muertos by embracing the wit and creativity of calaveritas literarias!

💀👉Here a Calaverita writen and illustrated by .rosado

¡Ay la muerte se fue al mar!
Con su sombrero y su traje de coral,
se echó a descansar en la arena dorada,
y las olascantaron si bañada.

Entre caracolas y estrellas de mar,
calaveras bailan, ¡no paran de de gozar!
Artistas las pintan, les dan su color,
con tonos de espuma y de sol abrasador.

Esta expo celebra con ritmo y candor,
el viaje final con un toque de sabor.
Muerte y playa, ¡qué buena combinación!
En cada rincón, una nueva creación.

La vida se vive y se va como el mar,
con olas que llegan y se han de marchar.
Hoy honramos la vida, el arte y el adiós,
bajo un cielo de arena, ¡bajo el sol y su voz!
