The slaves in the mines of Potosi woul die of cold and were brought to the Yungas of La Paz .What I have always heard from the comparsas and others was that it is originally from the town of "Taraco" on the shore of Titicaca Lake and it is true about the African origin and if you see movies about colonial times you will find the black slaves (the uncle tom types) dressed in fine clothes that resemble the Moreno customes(the old ones, the new ones have so many decorations that look like chinese dragons). I have heard also that the fishermen in Taraco gave it a particular meaning, specially with the "Matraca" in the shape of fish.

The great morenada hit of the moment (Carnival 2005 and undoubtedly 2006) was Brujita from Llajtaymanta[1]. Incidentally, Llajtaymanta is increasingly getting wider recognition. Even a friend from Cochabamba who used to mock all things Oruro learned some Llajtaymanta lyrics.
