An evening of entertainment and solidarity, featuring Melodia de Bolivia,
Fraternidad Kantataki, Rosario Arce, Aztec Sacred Dancers, Gustavo
Saavedra, Las Imillitas, plus greetings from the Bolivian Ambassador.
Bolivia will soon vote on a new constitution. The President of Bolivia,
Evo Morales, describes this charter as a break from a colonial and
neoliberal past and a turn to a new era of indigenous culture and social
