Gabriela Rivero

Carrusel is a Mexican children's telenovela produced by Valentín Pimstein for Televisa. Based on the Argentinean character Jacinta Pichimahuida, it was originally broadcast on Televisa from 16 January 1989 to 1 June 1990. It covers daily life in a Mexican elementary school and the children's relationships with a charismatic teacher named Ximena. Among other plot devices, it deals with the differences between the upper and lower classes of Mexican society – specifically as seen in a romantic relationship between Cirilo, a poor black boy, and a spoiled white rich girl, Maria Joaquina Villaseñor.
