20 Examples of Proclamations

The cries are proclamations that are pronounced loudly and repetitively in public places to announce something new or provide a commercial offer. For example: Tasty empanadas, for the good girls!

Town criers, who had their heyday towards the end of the 19th century in Latin America, used to be located in squares, streets and markets to capture the attention of passers-by. With the advent of the mass media , this trade fell into disuse, although it still persists in massive events, such as recitals, concerts, mobilizations, or in highly trafficked spaces, such as parks or beaches.

The proclamations, which are spread orally, usually have a certain musicality, and often rhyme , depending on what is offered or even who pronounces them. The main objective of these phrases is to capture the attention of the public and they are characterized by using the popular jargon typical of the place in which they are expressed.
