As part of celebrating the bicentenary of Independence in Latin America, the Peruvian parade showcased the Amazonian theme with dance and music: Tulumayos. Baila Peru in collaboration with Raices del Peru, Grupo Amazonia, members of the Peruvian community and British supporters performed in the Peruvian parade alongside Colombia, Brazil, Bolivia, Ecuador, Mexico and other Latin American countries.
Congratulations to everyone for integrating to the parade and winning
third prize! A truly memorable day for us all! A special thanks to all Tulumayos
dancers for the energy, enthusiasm and for sharing the spirit of the
Amazon!
The diversity of costumes and music from the coast and Andes
complemented the parade. Thus, celebrating also the richness of Peruvian culture with participants from different ages and
backgrounds.
