En el imperio de lo global, afloran las particularidades culturales de muchos rincones, que agrupan adeptos a través de plataformas. Un grupo de chilen@s, entre ell@s una pareja chileno-estadounidense, ha descubierto el imán de los bailes de Angola, antigua colonia portuguesa en África.
Por Flor Ilic
Alicia Mercado-Harvey encuentra en la danza angoleña un espacio que le ha permitido expresar emociones. A través de la kizomba, una tradicional danza africana, que Alicia define como el baile de abrazo, ha recorrido un camino en busca de la raíz de Angola, una ruta que no fue fácil para una chilena que vive entre Machalí, en nuestra región, y Sarasota, Estados Unidos. Esta danza pasó por Europa, sufriendo transformaciones y fusiones con otros ritmos como el hip hop contemporáneo y tango (Urban Kiz), entre otros, de manera muy masiva, siendo pocos los profesores que realmente se enfocan en la versión original de este baile.
En su largo camino en el encuentro de la kizomba, en 2017 Alicia comenzó un viaje de aprendizaje con diversos profesores con un primer acercamiento al Mestre Petchu, a través de un alumno suyo en Tampa, Florida. En 2021, en medio de la pandemia, pudo conocerlo virtualmente, y recibir su instrucción online. Junto a su marido, David, quien es también su pareja de baile, han realizado entrenamientos como el que él realizó, justo antes de la pandemia, en Córdoba, Argentina. Tras esa experiencia se generó un grupo de rancagüinos con quienes comenzaron a hacer clases en una escuela de baile, Barrio Candela, en Rancagua. El formato online, durante el período de confinamiento, les ha permitido seguir tomando y haciendo clases de bailes urbano populares de Angola.
Como Alicia y David viven por temporadas en Estados Unidos, con esta nueva manera de generar encuentro y conocimiento, han logrado avances con sus alumnas y alumnos.
En agosto de 2021, grabaron un video de semba Semba Chiley hace unas semanas otro de ginga Ginga Ultimo Final, que son las primeras grabaciones que se han realizado en Chile con estos bailes tradicionales angoleños. Su último trabajo, realizado este mes, es de kizomba de raíz con elementos de tango. Kizomba fusión tango
¿Por qué te llamó la atención este estilo de baile?¿Qué es lo que te sedujo?
La conexión que provoca, es un baile de abrazo, es muy placentero bailar con otra persona, no es tan aeróbico como la salsa, es más íntimo. Además, me conecté con la kizomba por la música, me llamaron mucho la atención las letras de las canciones, porque yo enseño portugués y lo leo todo el tiempo (NdR: Angola fue colonia de Portugal), sobre todo la semba que toca temas sustanciales, por el contenido social, incluso político. La kizomba es más romántica, son canciones muy bonitas.
¿Tienen hoy una agrupación formal?
Sí, desde que hicimos el video de semba, en agosto del año pasado, nos constituimos como agrupación de baile, nos llamamos Kutonoka Chile. Kutonoka es una palabra del kimbundu -una de las lenguas angoleñas-, que significa evento. No es una escuela formal, pero damos clases online y presenciales. Nuestro interés es bailar y promover la cultura angoleña. Es por eso que siempre en los videos vamos a vestir telas africanas, elementos culturales que despierten la curiosidad y el interés sobre la cultura que hay detrás.
¿Qué desafíos se han planteado para este año?
Nosotros nos estamos potenciando en el baile a nivel regional, en Santiago solo hay un profesor que está enseñando raíz, los demás hacen Urban Kiz y fusión, así que nosotros nos unimos con dos profesoras que están en Iquique, Brenda (@kizomba_danceiqq) y Denisse @(kizomba.rebola), en VIña del Mar, junto a quienes tomamos un curso de formación de profesores con el Mestre Petchu. Con ellas queremos generar un trabajo a nivel país. Por ejemplo, en Iquique, estamos planificando un festival en junio, si las condiciones sanitarias lo permiten, y nuestro desafío es traer al Mestre Petchu a Chile a fines de noviembre, ya que nunca ha estado en Chile ni en otro país hispanoparlante de Sudamérica. Sería realmente una gran experiencia porque él es extraordinario; hacer un festival con él significa aprender historia, comer comida de Angola, ya que enseña no solo la Kizomba, sino muchos otros bailes tradicionales angoleños, su cultura y un mundo de cosas.
¿Conoces a personas de la comunidad angoleña?
Sí, pero en Estados Unidos. Lamentablemente, no hemos conocido angoleños en Chile, son muy poquitos, pero sería interesante. Conocemos a personas de Senegal y Mozambique avecindadas en Chile.
¿Se viene la producción de nuevos videos?
La verdad es que es una preparación que implica mucho trabajo, se arma una coreo, se ensaya, por tanto, se prepara con meses de anticipación. Por ahora, el enfoque está en organizar el festival en Iquique con el fin de juntar dinero para traer al Maestro Petchu a fin de año. Tal vez grabemos algo en Iquique con nuestras colegas y sus alumnos. Si no, quizá uno a fin de año con los integrantes de Rancagua y el de Santiago.
Si estás interesado en aprender estos bailes, puedes contactar a Alicia por Instagram: @kutonokachile o por su canal de YouTube: Kutonoka Chile.

Traer estos géneros musicales a la región y permitir que se conozcas es increíble, al principio te llama la
Atención el baile, pero cuando empiezas a conectar con su música es más que pasos, es sentir la música y dejar que te hable, es maravilloso cómo te conectas al bailar este género
