About Kullawada

The kullawada, also spelled kullahuada, cullaguada, or kullawa, is a dance practiced in Bolivia and Peru. Its name is derived from the Aymara word kullawa ("sister"), referring to its dancers. In Bolivia, the kullawada is primarily performed during the Fiesta del Gran Poder, the Carnival of Oruro, the Festival of the Virgin of Urkupiña, and the Festival of Chutillos.
