Portrait of Alvaro Huanca Quispe (20) wearing a traditional costume and a mask representing the devil, from "Morenada" in el Alto, La paz, Bolivia. The devil, main and majestic figure of the traditional dance "Diablada", that has marked its main presence in the Carnival of Oruro. His mask reflects power, strength and fear. I took this portrait during my assignment for @nategeotravel in Bolivia.
Parade of a group called "Morenada". Morenada or Dance of the Dark skinned is a dance from the ​​Bolivian highlands where dancers disguise themselves as black people with masks with exaggerated features. The Morenada’s dance origins date back to the times of the Spanish colonization. It should be clarified that not all of the characters in the Morenada dance use a black mask; this is reserved only for the Caporales (black foremen) and the Morenos. The oldest preserved Moreno mask dates from 1875 and was made by Pánfilo Flores. This mask has a much more subtle and delicate aspect that the specimens used today, with extremely exaggerated eyes and protruding tongue, elements that supposedly represent the fatigue and the effects of soroche (altitude sickness). The sound of the Morero’s rattle is usually associated with the sound produced by the chains used by slaves. This dance is almost 300 years old and has a close relationship with the aymara lacustrine culture.
