About Diablada
The Diablada, also known as the Danza de los Diablos (English: Dance of the Devils) is a Bolivian folk dance, characterized by performers wearing masks and costumes representing the devil, and characters from post-colonial theology and mythology combined with Spanish and Christian elements added during the colonial era. Some scholars have concluded that the dance is descended from the Llama llama dance in honor of the Uru god Tiw, the Aymaran ritual to the demon Anchanchu and El Tío.
