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....

dude, its great to see rich natives for a change!

yes please, more of these positive latinamerican minidocs!

Wow these buildings are beautiful what a interesting culture.

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 :)

we need more of this (indigenous architecture) everywhere, especially here in canada

He's a very creative architecture I love it

Their style is so cool. Almost like a video game.

Grande Señor Mamani Ud es un genio...mis respetos y que bueno que sea un hijo de nuestra amada patria

viva BOLIVIA 🇧🇴!!!!!!

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

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

Thank you for showing me culture and a world that I had no idea existed!

That's how every latin america country should be the real indigenous people to rule and prosper in their own land!!! Beutiful

Bolivia beautiful ♡♥♡

I missed this kind of documentary from vice. It's been so long since they had some good ones.

this blew my mind. especially all the cable cars in la paz. would love to visit there some day

que bonitas saludos de marruecos :)

Yesssss, I love the trippy psychedelic viiibes!

Beautiful architecture! It's nice seeing a non European bourgeois culture for a change.

Yo vivo en argentina hace 28 años yo jamás me hubiese imaginado q la popularidad ubiese hecho tan bella arquitectura los felicito están hermosos

Lo mismo pasa en Guatemala. Los edificios multifamiliares de uso mixto con vidrios polarizados de colores. Y las mujeres emprendedoras. Awesome.

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 :)

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. 👍🏼📸

Beautiful beautiful style

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.

Beautiful

I want to go to Bolivia

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

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!

it's so nice knowing Spanish

This is Awesome!!

incredible cuando estuve en la paz en los 80 no habia casi nada en el alto. interesante

After playing Ghost Recon Wildlands, I'm all fascinated with Bolivian culture... ... and not just the coca, neither.

K hermoso

Have a good day everybody

Great video!!!! Thank you from La Paz Bolivia.

I love when people rediscover their indigenous roots

I like the world wide fashion articles on Vice

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

Fui na Bolivia em 2014 e fiquei chocado com esses prédios, completamente psicodélicos. Achei todos bem barangos mas muito interessantes

the designs are like a timewarp of the 1920's-1930's in the US

Do those buildings have awesome illumination during the night?

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.

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

That city really does need some colouring with those cholet houses! ❤

Dude, VICE was in my country!

👏👏👏 arriba las cholitas!

At least there is something to talk about in Bolivia. Especially Puma Punku it is an odd mystery...

Love this look,stunning.

Beautiful architecture 🤩

arriba mi Bolivia

Great to know that it is not only Mestizos And Whites that are getting more shine

This reportage is cool. The emerging architecture is surreal and in the best traditions of Latin American surrealist folklore.

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

This makes me want to take a trip to Bolivia and meet these cholitas & explore the architecture

This is justo great and beautiful!

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 are from Bolivia :)

wow

Me encanta!, gracias Vice

Freddy Mamani should come to Peru. Specifically to cities like Juliaca, Puno, Desaguadero.

Tengo muchas Cholitas en mi vecindario.

KZfaq: lets make people forget about coup and post fashion

that architecture is amazing

love it

amazing. la cultura Bolivana es muy bonito y lindo! love to check out their architecture in real life one day!

That architecture is amazing!

They have interesting taste.

Que interessante.

What song is this

Es Arquitectura BOLIVIANA!!!

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.

dmt flashback anyone?

Esos colores estan muy interesantes!!

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

forget European standards

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

Those buildings are awesome!

I like the colorful buildings, it kinda reminds me of The Price is Right set lol

those hats r pretty fucking G not gon lie

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.

This was good fashion piece! Bolivia #ElmundoConEvo

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.

Bravo c'est est très jolies

for the reporter to dress like them while the cholita was saying "we want to keep it as OUR identity" was a huuuge mistake.

Nice video. Bolivians are proud of their heritage both colonial Spaniard and indigenous. Greetings from Chile

I'd smoke a blunt and just look at the interior of the building for hours, damn that shit pretty

I like this unique architecture. Honestly it gaudy yet kinda down to earth at the same time

Esto se llama q un pais identidad

Well, this was very exotic and funny, just that!.

If you guys wanna know who the girl with short hair her name is Marisol Bedregal Fernandez 😍

Cholitas kinda reminds me of "La India Maria"

DOPENESS

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.

Tahuchi para enrrique (dj quien rmx) ty!

What's the name of the intro song!!???

Espero y las nuevas diseñadoras de vestidos de Cholitas, sean indígenas, esas dos son de los opresores, muy listas, pero aferradas a la opresión o quienes son esas extranjeras? Nada más corrompiendo la naturalidad, fascinantes los edificios, hermosa evolución que por muchos años ha sido reprimida por en conservadurismo
