Hatajo / Flock

a video produced by Simone and Edgar Endress

Is a short experimental video, recorded in collaboration with poet and decismista: Daniel Ruben Valenzuela (aka Piturro) and the music and dance group Malemba Zapateo in El Carmen – Peru. "Flock"  is a short video portrait of Zapateo; a manifestation originated as a form of resistance responding to oppressive historical experiences of an often marginalized group.
The “Hatajo de negritos” dance are traditional Afro-Peruvian expressions from the southcentral coastal department of Ica. A predominantly rural area congregate of one of the largest concentrations of Afro-Peruvians in the country. Although Peruvians of African descent are a minority within their country, their culture has had a tremendous impact.
Zapateo, with some distant elements similar to tap dancing, displays a complex pattern of footwork that uses the feet to create percussion, and historical response to drums been banned during the time of slavery.
