Photographer’s Note
The festival takes place over ten days and nights, during which about fifty folk group toured the city of Oruro along a route that has an area of four miles, accompanied by musical bands and plenty of celebrants. Chief among these dances is the Devil, but also highlights the Caporales, the Brunettes, the Suri-Sicuris the Llamerada the kullawada the-Waca Waca, Pujllay, Tinku, among others.
The festival ends with a final great procession in which some 28,000 dancers and 10,000 musicians around and has a duration of about 20 hours. Everything ends with two theatrical works that focus a Catholic in the Spanish conquest and the triumph of the Archangel Michael on the devil.
