It is a very good question. Always I have thought that the Chileans haven`t a really identity.
Chile is a long and narrow country. Consequently, our geography and climate is very varied.
Chile is a long and narrow country. Consequently, our geography and climate is very varied.
For example: the North is very hot, mean the South is really cold.
It is reflected in the folklore. We have different typical dances, depending of the place.
In the north they have dances and rites related with their own beliefs. And surely it will be very different with the beliefs of the south, coast or east.
It is the best reason because we have not a general identity. Chile, like country, haven`t a thing that identify us.
It has been increased with the globalization. It is very sad, in the last National Holidays you could see people dancing reggaeton, eating popcorn, doing anything less something related with Chile. The worst is that now, it happened in some “fondas”, but in the future we going to lose all the Chilean`s identity.

Hi Daniela
ResponderEliminarI think we have to be optimistic. Even though some people dance reggaeton, many dance cueca. I want to believe that we will preserve our roots (whatever that means! )
