Feira Boliviana

This guide to Feira Boliviana in São Paulo follows the Sunday market where the city's Bolivian community, many of them garment workers in Bom Retiro and Brás during the week, gathers to sell food, dance and music around a plaza renamed for the kantuta flower in 2002. The fair first began at a nearby churchyard about fifteen years earlier, before the crowds grew too large for the space. Listen for the pan flutes and watch the dancers in embroidered skirts and bowler hats.
