Brazil, Colombia and Argentina maybe the first things comes to your mind about the music. But the truth is, folk music of Peru is un-ignorable. Just in the recent few years folk music of Peru has come to the attention of the world. The same as most of folk and popular musics in South America, folk music of Peru has a strong bound to the dancing.
Almost most of folk music genres in Peru, comes from a type of dance or accompanied by a dance. The number of genres and style is huge.
It is a long list which is not possible to name all of them in a short page. Here you can read about some of the dances and a small description about each of them. During the 16th century and later, Peru was on of the most important part of Spanish Empire colonies and it was center of trading slaves. The rhythms played on them are often African influenced; some percussive instruments are of non-African origin.
For example, of European origin is the bombo bass drum, and of Andean origin are the wankara and tinya respectively. Wind Instruments: In addition to the ocarina and wakrapuku, there are two basic types of Peruvian wind instruments, the panpipes and flutes, both of native Andean origin. Of the latter variety, there are the pinkillo, tarka, and quena flutes. With the conquest and later colonial era, the Peruvian territory is influenced by European and later Afro-Peruvian music.
One of the first European rhythms to merge with the folklore of the African population is orchestrated by the priest Juan de Araujo in the carol The Negritos,which includes a particular style of Spanish spoken by black communities. Hanac Pachap is the first work of American choral polyphony. Dance during colonial times in Peru had a strong Austrian influence with Flemish, Italian and German influence and the second Bourbon influence with French models.
Attached to these styles of dance are different interpretation with African rhythms of early Creole music. Musical diversity was well documented during the last years of the colonial times, and its tunes embodied many instruments such as panpipes, trumpets, guitars, marimbas, and quijadas jaws.
Both the colony and during the beginning of the Republican era, people made no distinction between sacred and profane music.
During the government of Viceroy Abascal, Italian opera was very popular in Lima. By the late eighteenth century, dance teachers were mostly black, but in this activity was banned because they were accused of inventing and modifying original dance steps. Because of the ban, foreign teachers of non-Afro descent became more popular in Peru. The churches concentrated a lot on both religious and secular music.
The most important cathedrals counted with their own orchestras, hired musicians other churches for their festivals and processions. Over the centuries, Andean music has continued to thrive in both Quechua and Spanish, adapting to changing times and contexts. These melodies that touch the souls of Andean people are accompanied by ingenious and profoundly poetic lyrics that can match classic French or German poetry any day.
Despite its proximity to Cusco , it is still possible to clearly differentiate between the music of the two regions. For example, the guitar is used more predominantly in Ayacucho than in Cusco , as we can hear in Pucuysito. This song is dedicated to the Puku-puku bird. Before the arrival of the Spaniards, the Puku-puku used to wake people up.
The lyrics refer to the particular song of this bird that marks the daily schedule of Andean inhabitants and helps them to work in a happy and organized fashion. A hundred sorrows you had in your precious life today I caress you to console you.
Cien pesares has tenido en tu vida tan preciada hoy te brindo mis caricias para poder consolarte. Estudiantina Peru is a legendary Andean music group, and have performed together for the past 50 years. Navarro and Anaya collected and recorded huaynos from all over Peru. The lyrics tell about a person who asks a black eagle for its wings to fly after his beloved, who is represented by a little dove.
This little love left its home and is caught by someone else who encloses her in a distant house. Obviously, this causes much sadness for her partner. Employing the metaphor of a bird to refer to a loved one is very common in Andean music. Black Eagle please lend me your wings to pursue my little dove she left our nest without giving any reason. Crossing mountains she flew away has been imprisoned in that house everyone tells me I should rescue her to put my life and heart on the line.
If you love me send me a letter in that letter include a portrait then I will know that you love me with all your soul, life and heart.
Ay, honey, who knows tomorrow when I leave, how it will be. Conjunto Condemayta de Acomayo is another living legend in Andean music.
