Video Title:
Suma Qamaña 2014 Bolivian Festival 10: Chacarera
Description:
Suma Qamaña celebrates the spirit of "Living Well" in this four day festival hosted by the Embassy of the Plurinational State of Bolivia, highlighting the indigenous cultures of Bolivia through dance and song. In this segment, Ballet Somos Bolivia perform the Chacarera. The Chacarera is a typical folk dance of Bolivia. Chacarera is danced naturally and spontaneously only in parts of Argentina, and in the south of Bolivia (Tarija) where it borders with Argentina. The dance is traditionally accompanied by the sounds of guitars, violins, and bass. In the last decades of the twentieth century, though, the dance began to incorporate varied instrumental ensembles. Recorded in the Potomac Atrium of the National Museum of the American Indian on June 7, 2014.
