Valona is a popular narrative song and poetry form of the Mexican state of Michoacán. Its main characteristics are: a bitter sense of humor, mainly referred to erotism (being even sexually explicit) and social concerns; its lyrics are composed as groupings of ten-verse strophes, each verse of eight phonetic syllabs; musically, all valonas are sung (in fact, almost recited) with one and only tune, with a musical refrain after each strophe, than can vary.
As a narrative popular genre, valona is literary and musically related with Mexican corrido, and by its stylistic, it is akin with other Mexican genres composed in ten minor-verse strophes («décimas» or «espinelas»), such as some huapangos and the son arribeño, along with Latin American genres as Chilean run-run and the rapsodes of Argentine «payadores».
Valona contends that the trial court erred when it granted summary judgment on the fraudulent-transfer claim because: (1) genuine issues of material fact exist; (2) the claim is barred by what he asserts is a statute of repose; and (3) Treter's action is barred by both claim- and issue-preclusion.
Valona sought summary judgment dismissing Treter's action, contending, as we have seen, that it was barred by both claim- and issue-preclusion.
Valona argues that § 893.425(2) is a statue of repose, and that the trial court could not void the transfer of the National-Avenue property because the May 4, 1999, mortgage and mortgage note were executed more than four years before 815 Corporation filed its lawsuit on August 22, 2003.
The expulsion of the Jews from Spain in 1492 and the exodus of Jews from Portugal, beginning in 1497 resulted in the arrival in Valona of Jews from Castilla and Catalonia and, later on, from Portugal.
The Jewish consuls of Dubrovnik in Valona were very useful in supplying wheat to Dubrovnik when the Venetians, in their quest to occupy Dubrovnik, laid siege on Dubrovnik and prevented the supply of wheat.
The small Berat Jewish community and the numerous Jewish refugees from Valona asked the rabbinical court, if the special taxes imposed on the Jews of Berat by their local Ottoman ruler should also be paid by the Valonians or whether the Jews of Berat should bear all the financial burden.
