Cholita wrestlers fight at Bolivia street party

STORY: These indigenous women wrestlers have become a mainstay at the 'ElectroPreste' celebrations. Their performance in the ring has become symbolic of women's power and the fusion of indigenous and modern identity.

Bolivians from across the country converged on El Alto for the celebrations, with folklore bands and performers in indigenous dress entertaining revelers on the streets and in electron nightclubs.

Dance parties featuring folkloric Bolivian music drawing on Andean roots combined with electronic music have grown in popularity in the landlocked South American country.

Electropreste seeks to fuse the modern with the traditional, featuring traditional clothes and imagery with modern parties.
