/Sounds like "choh" (as in "chose") + "leh" (as in "let") + "REE" (as in "reed") + "ah" (as in "art")/
The behavior or characteristics associated with Andean working-class culture. In Peru and Ecuador, the term can be used respectfully or as a classist slur depending on tone and context. Reclaimed by many as a source of pride in indigenous and popular culture.
“That's not cholería, that's Andean popular culture that deserves respect.”
“The square filled up with people dancing huayno.”
