THANKS TO EVERYONE FOR WATCHING OUR ART, OUR NATIONAL ARCHITECTURE, MADE IN BOLIVIA.
PROUD OF BEING BOLIVIAN❤💛💚
I'm obsessed with the colors and patterns of those buildings.... that's what art deco what have looked like if it were created in the 60's....
lorimar matos that’s because a lot of the fashion and patterns from the 60s was appropriated from indigenous “North Americans”
The fashion industry in North America was started for an indigenous demograph often making fabrics with floral patterns in return for some highly valuable furs, mainly beavers and muskrats, hence the fur trade. Oh and I’m the 60s and 70s the young non indigenous people started to use and appropriate indigenous culture to feel closer to the earth and spirit during these hippy, often drug and appropriation of medicinal hallucinogenic plant induced flower power days.
I know this is two years later but the more you know
@@mattkisewatizidatidah6888 the more you know...
dude, its great to see rich natives for a change!
yes please, more of these positive latinamerican minidocs!
psygn0sis that was ignorant
yeah, it was
hello .how are you
Alex H oh shut up.
instaBlaster.
Wow these buildings are beautiful what a interesting culture.
we need more of this (indigenous architecture) everywhere, especially here in canada
this is beautiful and amazing! taking your roots and creating something new from them is the greatest tribute you can make to your ancestors. freddy mamani is amazing and his buildings are magical. love to our brothers :)
Grande Señor Mamani Ud es un genio...mis respetos y que bueno que sea un hijo de nuestra amada patria
Their style is so cool. Almost like a video game.
That's how every latin america country should be the real indigenous people to rule and prosper in their own land!!! Beutiful
viva BOLIVIA 🇧🇴!!!!!!
Love it too. Greetings from a german polish suporter
He's a very creative architecture I love it
I realy loved this video, I wish in my country South africa, we could learn from this. The main point being bring back you cultural heritage, in your architecture. But once you've fix the economic system
Maviyo Mathobela I would like to see architecture like this all over latinamerica and africa

Beautiful architecture! It's nice seeing a non European bourgeois culture for a change.
the architecture is gorgeous i love it!! it's geometric but still bright and flowing. definitely going to do more searching of my own on this
que bonitas saludos de marruecos :)
Bolivia beautiful ♡♥♡
I missed this kind of documentary from vice. It's been so long since they had some good ones.
Yesssss, I love the trippy psychedelic viiibes!
Its indigenous geometric style
Thank you for showing me culture and a world that I had no idea existed!
Lo mismo pasa en Guatemala. Los edificios multifamiliares de uso mixto con vidrios polarizados de colores.
Y las mujeres emprendedoras. Awesome.
Acá en bolivia la creencia Aymara es que los vidrios polarizados reflejan la envidia entonces varias casas pobres de muy pequeño tamaño también lo tienen (soy boliviano pero no indígena)
el Problema aquí en Bolivia solo se identifica la tercera parte de la población no todos, solo los que están con la frontera con Perú se identifican así y los demás no.
Yo vivo en argentina hace 28 años yo jamás me hubiese imaginado q la popularidad ubiese hecho tan bella arquitectura los felicito están hermosos
this blew my mind. especially all the cable cars in la paz. would love to visit there some day
Que buen video. Felicidades a la reportera y a todos los que ayudaron y dirigieron este video, increible ver algo tan unico. El future es grande cuando hay inovacion, apoyo, y valor. Todo love mejor Bolivia y equipo de reportaje! Excelente trabajo. 👍🏼📸
Cholita fashion is influenced (in my observation) by Spanish colonial fashion. Kind of the same happened in the USA when natives began to use beads in their shoes, jewelry, clothing etc once they began to get those items from Europeans and it became iconic with native fashion. I am sure natives in Bolivia pre-colonization did not have hats, petticoats, lace. Colonization erased thousands of years of true native culture and and we have now is a mixture of that authenticity with European influence.
I agree with your observation
I live in spain and it looks like the festive gypsy dress sevillanas or flamenco outfits , but even those came from influence of places before it since they were traditionally manily just worn by gypies who came from outside. Even other parts of spain dont dress liek that its mainly just south spain.
so it really isnt really native spanish either.
Cindy McKenzie well, a country's culture is created by it's history, this is just a culture from that specific time period. Latino/Hispanic culture wouldn't be what it is without a mix of European culture. It was born from war, but what culture wasn't?
The bowler hat came from the English as they were involved with implementing the railways
I´m from Bolivia and you are right :) The "cholita" style comes from the outfits spanish women used to wear in colonial times even though it´s not really that popular anywhere else here in Bolivia other than La Paz, that´s why it´s also called "Paceña" outfit here :)
Wow those buildings!!!! Freddy Mamani has mastered the use of beautiful natural shapes and bright heavily saturated pastel color in unique structures for rejoicing ... how wonderful :)
After playing Ghost Recon Wildlands, I'm all fascinated with Bolivian culture...
... and not just the coca, neither.
😁😁😂
Origen de la chola es española ua-cam.com/video/hSgfSB1YL04/v-deo.html
Fui na Bolivia em 2014 e fiquei chocado com esses prédios, completamente psicodélicos. Achei todos bem barangos mas muito interessantes
Great video!!!! Thank you from La Paz Bolivia.
My grandma and aunts were all cholitas and they gave me my own polleras haha I have indigenous family in Bolivia and Japan as I am half Bolivian and half Japanese. I only know a little bit of aymara. Para todos los bolivianos, les mando amor! Extrano la Paz. Coman una salichipapa para mi por favor.
🥰 what a beautiful mix!!
Origen de la chola es española ua-cam.com/video/hSgfSB1YL04/v-deo.html
it's so nice knowing Spanish
Beautiful beautiful style
Have a good day everybody
JessietheLookout Same to you m8 thanks
One would argue that the architecture is not aesthetically pleasing due to the oversaturation of color and over-use of geometrical figures and shape. Yet, the big picture here @Syed Shoaib, is that Aymara descendent people have found a style that they feel comfortable with. This new wave integrates their ancient Aymara style, with a more contemporary look and feel. Hence, it depicts their true identity.
Just like any other way of art (even architecturally speaking), the Cholet breaks away with the classroom rules and norms and disruptively creates a new style. If you see the Guggenheim museum in Bilbao, the Marques de Riscal winery, or the Ysios winery (both in Alava, Basque Country), they're all chaotic style in their own way, yet they all have their touch, brilliance and authenticity
That´s the beauty of art, it´s all about breaking the rules
the designs are like a timewarp of the 1920's-1930's in the US
fantastic video. I'm living abroad and I am happy to see the innovative take my home is developing. I am excited to see the future in this front!
incredible cuando estuve en la paz en los 80 no habia casi nada en el alto. interesante
At least there is something to talk about in Bolivia. Especially Puma Punku it is an odd mystery...
Great to know that it is not only Mestizos And Whites that are getting more shine
Cholo means indomestizo by the way which is someone who is 75% native mixed with 25% Euro.
I want to go to Bolivia
Do those buildings have awesome illumination during the night?
No
sometimes
This is Awesome!!
They represent that fusion of Spanish and indigenous elements in a healthy way acknowloging the birth of Bolivian "latino" culture we're never gonna be either full incas aztecas, etc or Spanish, Italians
I love when people rediscover their indigenous roots
Me too

UA-cam: lets make people forget about coup and post fashion
Good to see that you are woke to the current and sad reality in Bolivia brother ( for those who dont know Bolivia has recently had a (US supported and financially backed) military coup lead by the white, evangelical christian elite in Bolivia, the military and the police. Some sectors of this coup are also fascists... But this is an old video brother, back in the happier and freer times in Bolivia where the president wasn't coup'd and he stood tall as a proud Black/Indigenous man leading the fastest growing and strongest economy in all of Latin America. #evoespueblo !!
@@piecebombs5911 Black? As in African descent? Nah
@@rrondon3280 no Black as Indigenous from Bolivia. Some Indigenous people in Bolivia may call themselves Black, others indigenous or they may use another term. Within the context of Bolivia's white elitist fascism, Black is a reality of the divide in the nation based on looks and skin tone, of which Evo Morales fought against and did an exceptional job in lifting Indigenous people out of the margins of society that they were relegated to for so long #evoespueblo
@@rrondon3280 in southern south american countries, black (negro) is also used as an umbrella term for all non-white etnicities (including brown, black, indigenous, mixed, etc). It's a linguistical simplification of the region's colorist/racist dichotomy
This was from 5 years ago...
👏👏👏 arriba las cholitas!
Origen de la chola es española ua-cam.com/video/hSgfSB1YL04/v-deo.html
as a person of color it seeing things like this impacts me on a personal level as the cycle of loss of culture in favor of modern industrialization rages on. It will be great tragedy when all the cultures have europeanized their whole countries in for global validation
Love this look,stunning.

Beautiful architecture 🤩
K hermoso
That city really does need some colouring with those cholet houses! ❤
This is justo great and beautiful!
I like the world wide fashion articles on Vice
dawn mathieson
Hey Mario :)
Dude, VICE was in my country!
Beautiful
Wow! I´m From Cochabamba Bolivia, it´s so amazing to see this :) to be honest I learned a lot of stuff watching it haha
This reportage is cool. The emerging architecture is surreal and in the best traditions of Latin American surrealist folklore.
Tengo muchas Cholitas en mi vecindario.
The drone shot @ 11:50 is great! Got the weather for it. Check out Gepe ft. Wendy Sulca for Freddy Mamani inspired music vid and Landshapes - In Limbo for Cholitas Luchadores inspired music video
Freddy Mamani should come to Peru. Specifically to cities like Juliaca, Puno, Desaguadero.
arriba mi Bolivia
Me encanta!, gracias Vice
Piña Colada z
love it

thosenew buildings are so beautifuldhey looks like Dimond surrounded by shit or ugly buildings that seems like is the only other building style in the country. i think its great that they embrace their culture and traditions
This was good fashion piece! Bolivia #ElmundoConEvo
wow
Loved it!! Thank you!!
Estuve en Bolivia una semana, la gente y su cultura es algo impresionante, la historia es una cosa que la ves en su arquitectura, se ve mucho de los vestigios españoles pero a tamaño descomunal, y es latente la rebelion del pueblo local a darse a respetar, los Andes y los paisajes geograficos no tienen nada que envidiarle a los alpes suizos, Yo creo que tenemos una idea muy muy subestimada de lo que tenemos en toda Latinoamerica.
This makes me want to take a trip to Bolivia and meet these cholitas & explore the architecture
Origen de la chola es española ua-cam.com/video/hSgfSB1YL04/v-deo.html
yoooooooo i live in El Alto. I calll it the worlds biggest village because its mainly indigenous people that live here. This is what we see everyday! theres only a handful of Americans living here and its cool to be one of them
Todos los Bolivianos son americanos, eres consciente?
They have interesting taste.
Que interessante.
amazing. la cultura Bolivana es muy bonito y lindo! love to check out their architecture in real life one day!
Bravo c'est est très jolies
those hats r pretty fucking G not gon lie
dmt flashback anyone?
that architecture is amazing
Sr arquitecto. Felicitaciones.
Las cholitas se ven precios con su vestimenta. Donde puedo comprar los cuales y los sombreros? Quiciera comprar unos para mi esposa.
Esos colores estan muy interesantes!!
Es Arquitectura BOLIVIANA!!!
I like the colorful buildings, it kinda reminds me of The Price is Right set lol
Look at what i call, indigenous Bolivian Royalty in these women, very different, very classy. All of this is now being lost as a result of the Coup.
@Sean Alexander, blessings flow. Sorry if i offend you or anyone here. I am speaking about the fashion on the women, not the women. I am well aware of the half breeds in the Americas, who think they are God's gift to the Americas, i am also aware of it in my little Island (hidden under the table). I have no illusions when it comes to True-story (what many call History).
@Sean Alexander, what should happen is that, the melanated men and women is those Nations, should make sure melanated women are on the tube.
Nice video. Bolivians are proud of their heritage both colonial Spaniard and indigenous. Greetings from Chile
Lappu1984 lol na fuck that colonial shit xo
Lappu1984 this is exactly the problem with North, central & South America. How can you be proud of genocide, enslavement, racism & discrimination for 100s of years? We are all Americans first - then products of colonialism. Good that they held to their culture for dear life. Indigenous are enlightened people and we are seeing it with literal destruction of the planet by European practices. Love both parts of yourself if you are mixed.
Ian Iglesias word, iam Bolivian and I have no Spanish heritage, people shold stop placing spanosh heritage in me I'm Quechua and I didn't speak spanish until I was 6
Those buildings are awesome!
Well, this was very exotic and funny, just that!.
That architecture is amazing!
for the reporter to dress like them while the cholita was saying "we want to keep it as OUR identity" was a huuuge mistake.
Renan Teles could I ask why?
All power to the Bolivians on preserving their culture. But those buildings are something that you design while high on acid, shrooms, and quite possibly something from Rigel 7.
"But those buildings are something that you design while high on acid, shrooms, and quite possibly something from Rigel 7." You say like it is something bad.
Well I was mainly criticizing the color scheme. I but I understand that interpretation.
Lol, plant-based psychedelics took part in a lot of Amerindian cultures, so those statements don't necessarily contradict each other
Plant based psychedelics took part in pretty much every culture on the globe. Even white peoples culture.
We especially loved our shrooms, us white people. Mmm. Shrooms.
People on this page talking about how colonialism erased thousands of years of culture - without understanding history themselves. Europeans were tribal peoples at one point too, and are a very diverse crowd for such a small landmass that Europe is. Many cultures and many identities sprang up and were erased.
This is the nature of history, and history all over the world.
And people need to be accepting of this.
Natives in Bolivia were warring and murdering each other before Europe even knew they were a thing.
@@jreed136 Came back two/three years later trying to understand your comment but, what?
It is not some sort of accusation, that they used psychedelics, why take it that way.
If you're just talking about pot, then yeah no arguing there, it used to be a common crop in many cultures with many uses. But there's no reason to think every culture did harsher than pot, frequently, or even routine ceremonially, so as to be part of the culture, it is just not the case.
what really threw me off track was the 'us white people' part, what white people? which? it's not a collective. You develop about the diversity but you also convolute the practice of one or a few of the people to every European people.
Not trying to be rude, but your comment was full of self scrutinizing.
What song is this
How wonderful. I love videos like this very much please make more. Thank you.
I'd smoke a blunt and just look at the interior of the building for hours, damn that shit pretty
What's the name of the intro song!!???
DOPENESS
Tahuchi para enrrique (dj quien rmx) ty!
Cholitas kinda reminds me of "La India Maria"
