I think the message of the thetic and Beer are complex to the Western world. We are not prepared to hear a girl of eight years called theta, it is assumed that at that age and children have stopped breastfeeding (unless she sings from a position of nursing baby, such as trying to give them a voice, if so it is not entirely clear in the video). As for beer, we can not accept (from a Western point of view) that ask less beer, alcohol in the West is reserved for adults, not only because a substance hazardous to health, but also because it's supposed to be the more you have the responsibility to take all acts under the influence of alcohol may be committed. It is true that alcohol in minors is devastating and that the West does not recognize the individual value of culture but a universal and intuitively expressed in terms of child protection.
I do not think we are ready to understand the complex semiotic charge of these musical and audiovisual products in Peru have developed a series of socio-cultural dynamics that have led to these phenomena. Should be studied very thoroughly the whole issue of Indian migration, the survival of Inca culture, despite the European invasions, the search for the identity of "Cholo" and the shock of this with the West as thought and conception of the world.
Anyway, I think it's wrong, in the XXI century, when it is assumed that we (humanity Western) overcome many "traumas" and we have statements of universal rights and other figures that protect life, dignity, culture, etc, there public demonstrations in which a people ridicule popular artistic expressions. Although we believe Wendy, dolphin and Tigress are a sovereign shit, is private thought is not well spread out through the media. All Peruvians, Nigerians, Indians, Colombians, Russians, Japanese, where we are, we have the right to express freely and to enjoy respect for our differences. The English are also the least morally would be allowed to mock in public of Peruvian culture, because they are largely responsible for the fact that Latin America not only Peru but now lives thanks to the invasion for over 500 years, which long list I could refer their abuse, but rather leave it for another post.
And I'm not the more warrior of the Incas or the most committed to the Latin American Culture (in fact I like to live in Europe) only caused me curious lack of respect for diversity in these postmodern times.
