#bolivian folklore#digital art#illustration#pujllay#pukllay#carnaval de oruro#Pujllay because I relate Chuquisca with christmas#as my family is from there and dances chuntunquis every year.#fun fact the flute is called a senckatanch'ana#draugr#yes I know draugrs are a viking thing but listen#pujllay honors the dead indigenous warriors of tarabuco who battled for freedom in the revolution#and a person can become a draugh if they were bloodthirsty in life so feel the one guy who allegedly ate a spaniard's heart would qualify#he was a badass and he deserves a badass creature with witch like powers and super strenght and weather manipulation#which also ties to the pujllay being related to carnaval dances for rain and agricultural prosperity also#bolivia#gabbyartz
