The 10 piece charismatic Bolivia Marka Dance Group presents a colourful, loud, bold and brassy performance of exotic and
rarely seen dances from the different regions of Bolivia - the folkloric capital of South America. The dancers dress in a
spectacular display of colourful and fantastically imaginative traditional costumes from the famous Oruro Carnival. This
carnival has recently been listed by The United Nations as a ‘MASTERPIECE OF THE ORAL AND INTANGIBLE HERITAGE OF HUMANITY'
The famous Oruro Carnival is a festival, which takes place every year. It is a centuries-old ritual and involves thousands of dancers
dressed in fabulous and elaborate costumes.
