EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Aizar Raldes from Agence France-Presse (AFP), we are transported to the vibrant and enchanting world of Bolivia's Carnival of Oruro. The image showcases a member of the Negritos del Pagador fraternity, adorned in traditional attire, gracefully dancing during the inaugural parade. The dancer exudes an aura of energy and passion as they move with precision and elegance through the streets. Their colorful costume reflects the rich cultural heritage that is celebrated during this annual carnival, which has been recognized as one of UNESCO's Masterpieces of Oral and Intangible Heritage. As our eyes are drawn to the dancer, we notice a pipe held delicately between their fingers, emitting a trail of smoke that adds an ethereal touch to the scene. The smoke seems to symbolize both tradition and spirituality, intertwining with every step taken by this mesmerizing performer. This horizontal composition captures not only the physical beauty but also conveys a sense of unity among participants in this grand parade. It serves as a reminder that traditions like these have been passed down through generations, connecting people across time. Aizar Raldes' skillful lens immortalizes this momentous occasion for all who view it—a testament to his ability to capture fleeting moments that encapsulate culture and history within a single frame.
