Bolivia rushes to protect traditional dances, angered by Peru declaration 2 minutes read
La Paz, May 12 (EFE).- Bolivia is rushing to safeguard its traditional dances such as the morenada and the caporal, and is preparing demonstrations and festivals to preserve their national identity after Peru declared the morenada as cultural heritage of its city of Puno.
Bolivia’s minister of cultures, decolonization and depatriarchalization, Sabina Orellana, on Wednesday summoned local governments, universities, experts, associations of dancers, musicians and other sectors to meet to form a committee to safeguard the country’s heritage.
“We call to unite to defend our identity and our cultures, especially the morenada and the caporal,” said the minister at a press conference.
