The real...Thanks for this excelent post Alejandro!<br /><br />The real name of the Marinera is ZAMACUECA. A Peruvian writer decided to change the name of this dance last century, after the war between Chile against Peru and Bolivia. The Zamacueca dance traveled around South America and it was called Zamba in Brazil, Uruguay and Paraguay. In Chile and Bolivia it was called Cueca. It returned to Peru under the name "Chilena", but Peruvians didn't want to have to deal with a name that reminded of our lost. So they name it Marinera in honor to the Peruvian navy. <br /><br />Zamacueca is a creation of Afrodescendants who blended with Indigenous rythms from Peru's coast. Originally called "zamba cueca" by racist people, who believed it was a sexual dance (probably) not decent enough to be dance at the elite's celebrations.<br /><br />However, Zamacueca has roots in African rythms, Moche indigenous rituals (dance of the Pavita) and the Spaniard way of dressing and waving of the panuelo. The Zamacueca's history is similar to Colombia's CUMBIA: its the marriage of black and indigenous, dressed of Spaniard.qc.carloshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09980842037853874847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21560560.post-47650506140711708342007-01-24T17:55:00.000-08:002007-01-24T17:55:00.000-08:00Thanks Mitch for your comment.

Next time. I'm glad you enjoyed yourself there. And, the scissor dance is pretty incredible!

There were multiple demonstrations of marinera. What I loved most about all the performances was that each dance seemed to tell a story, not just showcased movement and costumes (which was beautiful on its own, too). The scissors dance was totally insane (in a good way). And of course, there was food!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
