Thank you to MUSEF for allowing me to translate our stories into English ⁣⁣

⁣This story is “The Legend of Toborochi” From the East of Bolivia, Santa Cruz 

⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ The MUSEF animated videos arise from the need to disseminate myths from our cultures to various audiences, using new forms and formats of communication that manage to capture the attention of young and old. The animations are worked on the basis of research and rescue the orality of our people. The aesthetic used is in dialogue with reality and is based on the major and minor catalogs produced by the MUSEF.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣

Who Remembers?

Bolivia went to the World Cup in 1994.

The last time they qualified before that was 1950.

Led by Marco “El Diablo” Etcheverry, Jaime Moreno, Julio César Baldivieso, and Erwin Sánchez, among others, this team defeated Venezuela 7-1, beat the eventual champions Brazil 2-0 at home, and bested Uruguay 3-1 at home as well during qualifiers.

This was a very special World Cup where we got to see Bolivian representation in the USA on such a large stage.
