The male dancers portray the "caporal," they are strong and powerful figures. Their movements show total control and domination.
The Cueca is a national dance of Bolivia that is considered a courtship dance. It is danced throughout the country with regional variances.
Diablada represents the fight between the good and the evil. It is a theatrical signification of the seven virtues against the seven capital sins.
The sound of the "matraca" represents the noise made by the shackles that the masters used to keep their slaves captive and it is also for this reason that the rhythm is slow and it is danced with small steps.
