Barloventeña

Question

So can someone tell me what this word means?
It might be an insult, but I'm not sure.
I've checked everywhere and can't find it.

Someone saw a picture of two girls and said
Gocha y Barloventeña.

Gocho is a hog but what's the second word.

thanks. :]

Answer 1

No, no, no that word is not an insult is the Gentilicio for a woman who born in Barlovento a place in my country: Venezuela and Gocha is the word that we used for a woman who born in one of these three state in Venezuela: Merida, Tachira o Trujillo, that people we call also: "Andinos" because is the Cordillera de los Andes ( a group a montain, in fact is the same gruop of mountain that came form Canada you call them: Las Rocallosas, that mountains are in all the continent "hasta La Patagonia" ). We have a song from that place .... " Barlovento, Barlovento, tierra ardiente t del tambor, tierra de la fulia y negras finas, que llevan de fiesta su cintura prieta, y al son de la curbeta y ta ki ta ki de la mina ", is very good for dancing.
Of course, if maybe you think that was an insult is because they sound in a despective way, ... you know maybe they despite ( do not like ) people from my country and say in this in bad way.

I am pretty sure that girls are from Venezuela.
