Culture of Bolivia |
Bolivia is a Latin country in South America located at the Andes mountains. It has a significant Native American population which mixed Spanish cultural elements with their ancestors' traditions. The Spanish-speaking population mainly follows the Western customs.
Festivals Pagan rites from the pre-Columbian era are still common during the religious festivals of the Indians. The clothing used during the festivals reminds the visitor of the pre-Columbian Indians and the 16th century Spaniards . Dances Many dances and songs contain elements from both the native and the Mediterranean culture. The dance of palla-palla or loco palla-palla, practiced by the Indians, symbolise the European invaders. The dance of Waka-tokoris of the Native Americans is a symbolic satire of the bullfights. Music Music is played during the festivals and the dances. Some tunes contain strong Spanish influences.
