Regrettably the description of some parties, before reason of national pride, little by little they go losing their historical essence and at the same time they go becoming from the auto folkloric to simple popular party where elements unaware to the wealth of identity prevail; the folkloric gear goes being changed by the “blue jean”, our songs and rhythms replaced by any other one other people's that is in fashion (although we don't understand it) and listened in noisy "Disco Móviles".
