Children dance the morenada in streets of La Paz | Video

La Paz, Sep 11 (EFE).- Bolivian children showed off their best moves and costumes of the morenada in a parade in La Paz on Sunday as part of the activities held this week to reclaim this Andean folk dance.

Around eight dance ensembles prepared to be part of this parade organized by the La Paz mayor's office, which began on Mariscal Santa Cruz Avenue and traveled about two blocks to enter the regional fair, La Feria Cultural de Mil Colores, on Sunday.

The boys wore colorful morenos' costumes embroidered with sequins and pearls, as well as masks with huge feathers that moved from one side to the other to the slow and rhythmic pace of this dance, which evokes the plight of African slaves who were brought to the country during the colonial era.
