CULTURAL ACTIVITIES FOR THE ANNIVERSARY OF THE INDEPENDENCE OF PERU

The municipality of La Molina district organized a very beautiful and colorful show about the typical folk dances of Peru. Our regional traditional dances from the coast, highlands and jungle were all present in the show. It was an unforgetable evening show, part of the celebrations for the 190 years of independence of Peru from the Spanish kingdom (our independence days are every 28th and 29th of July).

The name of the show was: "El retablo mas grande del mundo" which means "The biggest altarpiece of the world". As it appears in the pictures, it had three floors and was full of dancers, musicians and performers.

The spirit of "peruanidad" or peruvian national pride for our rich folk heritage could be seen on stage. More than 60 peruvian artists were present. This was certainly a night to be remember!!
