PERUVIAN SOUNDS

The Peru music is a fusion of sounds and styles drawing on Peru’s Andean, Spanish, and African roots. After hundreds years of cultural mixing, there have been created a broad musical landscape over Peru. The earliest printed polyphonic music in Peru, was “Hanacpachap cussicuinin,” composed by Juan Pérez Bocanegra and printed in 1631. Pre-Columbian Andean music was played on drums and wind instruments, not unlike the European pipe and tabor tradition. Peruvian music is dominated by the national instrument, the charango (member of the lute family of instruments).

Between percussion instruments, the cajón is an important percussion instrument developed by African slaves. Wind instruments? In addition to the ocarina and waqra phuku, there are Peruvian wind instruments (panpipes and flutes). The most famous Peruvian dances, there are “Carnaval en Amazonas” (a dance from the Amazonas region similar to the huayno), “Carnavalito” (a dance from southern Peru and the Bolivian Altiplano similar to the huayno), and “Danza de tijeras” (a dance from southern Peru).
