From Wikipedia
The saya is an Afro-Bolivian music and dance originating from the Yungas region. It is considered a key influence in the music of Bolivia. The term saya is of unknown origin, with some positing that it may have come from Latin or Kikongo.
The saya is often compared to the caporales dance, which was developed in the late 1960s and is not Afro-Bolivian. The caporales depicts the caporal (slave overseer or foreman). The comparison may occur due to confusion with naming, as the music and rhythms of caporales are sometimes referred to as saya.
