chicha

On “Calvaire,” Chicha sings, “T’es ma misère, c’est le monde a l’envers, t’es mon enfer, ’vec tes commentaires,” which translates to “You’re my misery, my world inverted, you’re my hell with your observations.”

They make free use of fermented drinks, especially brandy, chicha, and guarapo.

In some districts of the Sierra the chicha is prepared in a peculiar and very disgusting manner by the Indians.

On each side of the body were ranged cooking utensils, and vessels containing water and chicha.

We met many indians carrying great ovoidal jars which were made at Tenango, and which are chiefly used for carrying chicha.

Knowing nothing of the price of chicha, we gave her six centavos, with which she seemed well satisfied.
