Critical reception

Journalist Alma Guillermoprieto has described the phenomena of Sulca and En tus Tierras Bailaré as an example of "''the chaotic transformation of a culture that has always had an infinite and joyful capacity for self-invention. This not outsider but insider art of the deepest sort, forged in a hot-hot crucible, and it is we who stand on the outside, peering wistfully at the screen."''.What is that Monkey Doing Behind the Rowboat?
