The dance of the Diablada is one of the most cherished and contested cultural expressions by our neighbors in Peru and Chile. Both countries claim to be the birthplace of this dance and have even gone so far as to reinterpret their own history to incorporate it into their cultural heritage. Even on Wikipedia, some "experts" in history have distorted the facts, but we cannot ignore the truth: the Diablada has a completely Bolivian origin, and this assertion has been supported even by ChatGPT, an artificial intelligence that does not mention Peru or Chile in relation to this dance. We appreciate our Peruvian friends for appreciating and dancing our Bolivian dances, but we hope that in the future, they do not attribute the Taquirari as their own.
