Yasmin G. Calizaya Quispe tiene 28 años es de Tupiza. Actualmente vive en Sucre-Bolivia. En este podcast, nos habla de la fiesta “K’illpa” la más festejada cada dos años en Tupiza. Esta fiesta se festeja durante el invierno ya que se cree que en estas épocas los Apus (Dioses) Wak’as (Lugares sagrados) se recuerdan de los animales. Esta fiesta se celebra durante 5 días. Yasmin nos dice que esta festividad es muy agradable no solo las costumbres tradicionales sino también la música, la bebida y la comida (K’alapari) plato tradicional preparado con mote pelado, carne de llama, pupusa, chachacoma, ají y piedras volcánicas. Ella participaba de estas fiestas cuando era niña y le encantaría volver a su comunidad para participar de esta fiesta.

Yasmin G. Calizaya Quispe is 28 years old. She is from Tupiza, Bolivia, and she currently lives in Sucre, Bolivia. In this podcast, she tells us about the “K’illpa,” a festivity celebrated every two years in her town. This festivity is celebrated during the winter because people believe that Apus (Gods) and Wak’as (sacred spirits) call out to the animals during this time. This festival is celebrated throughout five days. Yasmin tells us that this festival is very pleasant not only because of the traditional customs but also because of the music, drink and food consumed throughout the festival, for example the “K’alapari” a traditional dish prepared with peeled cooked corn, llama meat, pupusa, chachacoma, chili and volcanic rocks. When she was a child, Yasmin would participate in these festivities. She hopes to return to her community one day to participate once again in these festivities.
