Shipibo Pride Dance
The Shipibos are an ethnic group found on the banks of the Ucayali River. This dance has a
religious and at the same time magical meaning, with its movements the women impose
their beauty and the men their strength. For this dance, the typical clothing of the
Shipibos is used, which is striking, with strong colors.
The dance has its origin in the dispute over territory between two ethnic groups, the
native Yawuas who lived on the banks of the Amazon River and in their desire for
territorial growth wanted to conquer the banks of the Ucayali River, an area that was
already inhabited by the Shipibos. After the confrontation, the Shipibo managed to
emerge victorious in the fight, respecting their Honor and their lands.

belly of the fish and on the outside a little. Wrap in the bijao leaves and place on the

pan. CATFISH PATARASHCA2 Put half a cup of water in a large frying pan or a low pot with
a large mouth. When it starts to boil, put the wrapped ones, cover the pot or pan and let it
cook for 40 minutes. If you put it on the grill, cook for 20 minutes on one side, turn it over
and let it cook for another 20 minutes. You can prepare this recipe with catfish, sardines,
