What is the dance of the caporales?
The dance of the caporales It is called that because it is inspired by the character of the caporal, foreman or head who, whip in hand, monitored the work of a group of people in the field. It is a postmodern choreographic expression, which is based on the dance tradition of the highlands. Although it is true that its creation is recent, its roots go back to the colonial era in America, including the pre-Hispanic period.
Thus, Don Vicente Estrada Pacheco traveled to the interior of Bolivia in the 1960s and there he became aware of the character of the caporal and began to investigate him and shape what would later become this unique dance that has grown and expanded outside of the country. their native territory. It was Estrada who contributed to the creation of the costumes, music and choreography, which earned him recognition from culture Ministry of his country.
