Atrateño Privilege Dance

In our dance, the majestic Atrato River is highlighted as a survival mechanism for the riverine population of Chocó. The peasants work in the field using everyday materials as a means for their substance.
In the first moment, the champa, the boat and the canoe are shown as aquatic means of transportation that are of great importance for our inhabitants.
In the second moment, the rubbing of our peasants is shown as a work that is usually done to collect food, to plant food or even to hunt.
A very important part of our dance is fishing. Since we have lots of fish, many of the fishermen take their products to the most populated cities of the department to sell them as a pathway for reactivating the economy of fishermen and peasants of the Chocó department.
Due to the bad use of solid waste and the illegal mining to obtain minerals and precious metals that are found in the territory, the rivers are being polluted and the fishing activities have been affected throughout the year.
On the other hand, the corruption and bad practices of politicians have been evaporating the resources, including the natural resources that we are rich in. With the Pescado envenedado (poison fish) song, we made a criticism that gives a message about the importance of taking care of our resources and nature, the most precious thing we have.
Finally, the inhabitants of Chocó are happy with what little they have, but always demanding what has been denied and stolen from them throughout history. As persevering and resilient people, we always look forward.
Where the people of Chocó come from, things are not easy, but you always survive, there are problems, but you live happily, and from so much fighting we always get out of it.
