Gran Poder parade

By Jorge Bernal
18 May 2008

The Gran Poder parade started in the popular neighborhood "Gran Poder" in La Paz as a small religious celebration for the Image of christ that they call "Señor del Gran Poder", when some groups of friends use to dance "Morenada" for the image in the small church in the neighborhood. Now is totally different, thousands of dancers dance for the image and they take the city for one day and is the most important and fatuous parade in Bolivia.
