Suma Qamaña 2014 Bolivian Festival 20: Moceñada

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, Tradiciones Bolivianas perform the Moceñada. The Moceñada is an origin of the Aymara culture. The basis of this dance is the nature and the universe. Inspired in the Andean high plains, people come together to play, in a distinct rhythm, musical instruments such as drums, "bobos" or bass drums, and long wind instruments. Recorded in the Potomac Atrium of the National Museum of the American Indian on June 8, 2014.
