| description | Since the 1990s, the general eastern tribune and then the north side and the south side of the Nemesio Camacho “El Campín” stadium showed the emergence of a generation of fans who transformed the boredom, monotony and passivity of fans, as they eventually expressed their emotions during football games. In 1993 Blue Rain was organized and in 1996 it was transformed into Comandos Azules #13, organized groups of fans of the Los Millonarios Sports Club in Bogotá, usually called “bravas bravas”, who - through applause, songs, jumps, musical instruments, billboards, gunpowder and columns of smoke, among others—exalt their football identity, encourage their club and, in addition, maximize their rivalries. The purpose of the article is to interpret the festive expressions—manifested by the fans gathered in the brave bars of Bogotá—around the football games in “El Campín.” In this aspect, the article is organized into eight sections: “Introduction”, “The methodological aspects”, “Barra del Búfalo”, “And here we come”, “Inspiration came from the south”, “The brave arrived”, “I swear I will encourage you” and “Conclusions”. Finally, the methodology was oriented through observation, participation and interviews, specific techniques of ethnographic fieldwork. The social actors are fans of Millonarios Football Club in Bogotá grouped in “Blue Rain” and “Comandos Azules”. |

In 1993 Blue Rain was organized and in 1996 it was transformed into Comandos Azules #13, organized groups of fans of the Los Millonarios Sports Club in Bogotá, usually called “bravas bravas”, who - through applause, songs, jumps, musical instruments, billboards, gunpowder and columns of smoke, among others—exalt their football identity, encourage their club and, in addition, maximize their rivalries. The purpose of the article is to interpret the festive expressions—manifested by the fans gathered in the brave bars of Bogotá—around the football games in “El Campín.” In this aspect, the article is organized into eight sections: “Introduction”, “The methodological aspects”, “Barra del Búfalo”, “And here we come”, “Inspiration came from the south”, “The brave arrived”, “I swear I will encourage you” and “Conclusions”. Finally, the methodology was oriented through observation, participation and interviews, specific techniques of ethnographic fieldwork. The social actors are fans of Millonarios Football Club in Bogotá grouped in “Blue Rain” and “Comandos Azules”. Desde la década de 1990, la tribuna oriental general y luego la lateral norte y la lateral sur del estadio Nemesio Camacho “El Campín” mostraron el surgimiento de una generación de hinchas que transformaron el aburrimiento, la monotonía y la pasividad de aficionados y de barras tradicionales, pues eventualmente expresaban sus emociones durante los partidos de fútbol. En 1993 se organizó Blue Rain y en 1996 se transformó en Comandos Azules #13, grupos organizados de hinchas del Club Deportivo Los Millonarios en Bogotá, usualmente denominados barras bravas, quienes —mediante aplausos, canciones, saltos, instrumentos musicales, papel, pólvora y columnas de humo, entre otros— exaltan su identidad futbolística, alientan a su club y, además, maximizan sus rivalidades. El propósito del artículo es interpretar las expresiones festivas —manifestadas por los hinchas reunidos en barras bravas de Bogotá— alrededor de los partidos de fútbol en “El Campín”. En este aspecto, el artículo se organiza en ocho apartados: “Introducción”, “Los aspectos metodológicos”, “Barra del Búfalo”, “Y acá llegamos”, “Desde el sur llegó la inspiración”, “Llegó la brava”, “Te juro te alentaré” y “Conclusiones”. Finalmente, lo relacionado con la metodología se orientó a través de la observación, la participación y las entrevistas, técnicas específicas del trabajo de campo etnográfico. Los actores sociales son hinchas agrupados en Blue Rain y en Comandos Azules Distrito Capital de Millonarios Fútbol Club en Bogotá.
