The Diablada is a dance, with auto sacramental origins in Spain that is practised in various regions of the Andes specially the Altiplano (Bolivia, southeastern Perú, and nortern Chile). However, the dance is also practiced in Venezuela, Ecuador and Panama.
On XVI century, the jesuits, start "autos sacramentales", a dramatic representation of the mystery of the Eucharist in Juli - Puno, thats why this city was call "little Rome of America" or "Aymaras Rome". Until XVI century, Puno was part of the viceroyalty of Río de la Plata and then of the viceroyalty of Perú. During the evangelism of the lupacas who used to live in Juli, the jesuits made a representation of the seven deadly sins, with the angel winning.
The diablada causes a reform in the thinking of the indigenous altiplano cultures as missionaries from Spain, instilled the paradigm of good and evil, which is how the costumes of angels and demons became associated with the dance.
Miss universe dispute
In August 1 of 2009 Bolivian officials stated that it could present a legal appeal to the organizers of Miss Universe due to the planned use of a typical diablada wear by the Peruvian candidate Karen Schwarz.Pablo Groux, Bolivian minister of Culture, said that any use of the wear by Scharwz in the content would be an unlawful appropriation of Bolivian heritage and have menaced to bring the case to the International Court of Justice. El Comercio, a Peruvian newspaper, have mentioned that this is not the first time the diablada wear is shown in the contest and that it was María Josefa Isensee, a Chilean, that first used it in the Miss Universe contest. Peruvian foreign minister José Antonio García Belaúnde said that since the diablada dress is of indigenous Aymara origin it can not be considered exclusive of any of the countries where Aymaras lives.
