/Sounds like "kah" (as in "car") + "chahr" (as in "chat") + "PAH" (as in "park") + "yah" (as in "yard")/
A communal farewell party held in Bolivia for someone about to leave on a long journey or emigrate. The cacharpaya is rooted in Andean tradition and involves folk music, chicha (fermented corn drink), and the whole neighborhood coming together to send someone off with warmth, ceremony, and a lot of emotion.
“They threw him a whole farewell bash before he moved to Spain.”
“The cacharpaya went all night until dawn with the whole neighborhood there.”

Pastel
A sweet cake made for celebrations, birthdays, and parties. In Mexico, Colombia, Ecuador, and Venezuela, "pastel" is the standard word for what English speakers call cake. No birthday is complete without one, and the tradition of pushing the birthday person's face into it is practically a law.
