The role of the "kuraka" was further transformed in the late colonial era. In the late eighteenth century during the Bourbon reforms, administrative reorganization by the Spanish crown, taxes were increased and greater pressure was put on "kurakas" as mediators, a key element in the massive, coordinated Andean uprising in 1780-1 known as the Tupac Amaru rebellion. In the period after the Great Rebellion, the crown no longer recognized the "kurakas", delegitimizing their lineages and extinguishing them. The traditional elite attire of indigenous nobles was banned, as was music, dance, painting of images of Incas, Inca names, and other cultural manifestations of Inca power and influence. The crown rewarded loyalist "kurakas" with material rewards, such as money and land, as well as markers of prestige, such as military promotions and titles. However, the power and position of "kurakas" in general was eroded. At independence in 1825, independence leader Simón Bolívar abolished titles of nobility.
