Check this at youtube, you wont regret: 'Desarrollo Sostenible - Música en la Amazonia Boliviana'

In this week, the 2010 festival will begin, the next one will be in 2012...the atmosphere in such zones is awesome, you have to live it for yourself, is a life-changing experience...

Bolivia has the best Folkloric music in South America. That's a given. But I was ignorant to this. Very nice.

Prosit Neujahr 2010. VIVA Imallaya.

What songs are these? The first sounds very much like it is vivaldi. the second sounds like its from a very early baroque opera.

[javichuyutuv]

The first one is called "Sonata Chiquitana" composed by an unknown indian from the missions.

Indigenous people from that Chiquitania zone are well known for being naturally talented (cause they severely lack the training or resources available in Europe) for music, not only classical music like this case, but also very rich folk music, both composing and performing.

@javichuyutuv: thank you so very much!

What two pieces of music are these? The first sounds like Vivaldi; I don't know who the second could be.

Lovely segment today on NPR's Morning Edition about the Chiquitania Baroque Music Festival, where the musicians described are young people; children as young as eight, performing anonymous works written by Jesuits in the local dialect, as well as known works. Wonderful!

Not really,what is now Bolivia,was one of the main centers of Jesuit aculturization centers into the Catholic Church. The Jesuits were head strong in proving to the Spanish Crown, and to Europe as a whole that Native Americans were not animals, and therefore could learn not only languages but also music. The Chiquitano missions where spared because of their isolation ,the destruction that other missions suffered during the expulsion of the Jesuits in 1767.

[DILMADEOLIVERA]

bueno amigo o que tú hablas es la a mas pura verdad y toda America Latina ay sufrido mucho con la imposición de los Jesuitas en nobre de la corona española y la iglesia catolica, pero tambien trazer desarollo y mucha destruición de algunos pueblos, a costa de mucho sangre, y que mas tarde el pueblo cansado de tanto sufrimiento expulsaram los Jesuitas de sus tierras.

bolivia seems to be an odd country to host a renaissance festival in...

[XxLIVRAxX]

@watermelli1980 Well when you have an opportunity to observe the Spanish Legacy with its Cathedrals and palaces with Barroque Architecture, it becomes rather obvious ;)

[watermelli1980]

@XxLIVRAxX indeed! i made this comment three years ago, i do not even remember this video!! LOL

[jessyquedens]

Makes me want to head straight for Bolivia!
