This month Viento Sur will dedicate every sunday to the majestic bolivian carnival that will take Saturday February 18 and Sunday 19, 2012. We will be talking about the bolivian folkloric Oruro's Carnival. The bolivian carnival of Oruro, is the result of the cultural interrelation between the Urus, Spanish and Africans. They cohabited this geography and contributed to the culture with rites, customs, myths, legends, beliefs and devotion to the Virgen of the Socavon. This Carnival that is more than 2000 years old was recognized in May 2001 and was declared by the Unesco to be a Masterpiece of the Oral and Intangible Patrimony of the Humanity.
