	BBC NEWS \| Programmes \| Newsnight Home \| Novalima: Afro-Peruvian Blues
		It's the Peruvian equivalent of the North American Blues, of the Brazilian Samba and of the Cuban Son.
		Afro-Peruvian music was created by fl slaves who arrived in Peru in the 16th century from West Africa to work the cotton and sugar cane fields in the valleys scattered along the Peruvian coast.
		Today, this music is the pride of Peru, and has attracted the creative talents of the country's best contemporary musicians, who have furthered the evolution, growth and spread of this music beyond the country's borders.

	All About Peru - The Culture - Peruvian Music
		Peruvian oldest musical traditions are those of the Amerindians of the Andes.
		Their music is best known outside the country through the characteristic panpipes of poncho-clad folklore groups.
		However, there's a multitude of rhythms and popular music found here deserve a lot more recognition, including huayno and chicha, still relatively unknown abroad, as well as the distinct coastal tradition of Afro-Peruvian music, rooted in fl slaves brought to work in the mines.

	Peruvian Folklore
		That music is essentially Native American music from the altiplano, or highlands, characterized by instruments like the charango, the small guitar-like instrument that is often made of armadillo shells; the pan pipes; and the chajchas, or clusters of dried goat hooves.
		Andean music can be lively and danceable, as is the huayno, or have the soft sound of a lament, like that of the yaraví, but it always conveys the feel of the high mountains: of sparse, open spaces, few trees, thin air, and cool sunshine.
		The musical accompaniment is usually simple, with a guitar and hand clapping, and in modern times the cajón, which replaces earlier bass instruments such as the botijas and hollow-log drums.

	Music: Sweet Susana (Tucson Weekly . 11-29-99)
		Baca's smooth, understated vocals reverberate with the melisma of the supplicating flamenco singer; her music soothes with the warm tones of acoustic guitar, clay pot and pulsating bass notes; and she makes your heart skip with complex, polyrhythmic percussion arrangements.
		It's music that celebrates intuition and inventiveness in content and execution; and in the hands of a core quartet of master musicians, it takes on an expression as pure as geometry.
		The center's main focus is experimental music, and teaching music lessons to underprivileged children, but they've also made this extensive archive available to the public.

	peruvian traditional music
		Music is an integral part of all communal celebrations and symbolically represents that sharing and inter-dependence: drinks are drunk from communal glasses which everyone will empty in turn.
		Folk music festivals to attract and entertain the tourist trade are a quite different experience to music in the village context.
		While positively disseminating the music, they have introduced the notion of judging and the concept of "best" musicianship - ideas totally at odds with rural community values of diversity in musical repertoire, style and dress.

	Hartford Advocate: The Music of Black Peru (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-04)
		Mention Peruvian music and what springs to mind -- if anything -- is the tooting, soothing and birdlike sounds of the Andean panpipes that have somehow come to stand in for the entire music culture of a country nearly the size of Alaska.
		The music of fl Peru is extraordinary; the rhythms are complex and infectious, complete with thick layers of assertive percussion, driving handclaps, and persistently off-beat phrasing; the group singing is joyous.
		The music of Perú Negro was also taken up by the queen of Salsa, Celia Cruz, who recorded a salsa version of "Toro Mata," one of the group's signature tunes.

	Luaka Bop: Afro-Peruvian Classics
		This is secret music — a collection of beautiful songs and infectious grooves that's been hidden for years in the coastal towns and barrios of Peru.
		This music survived (barely) within the fl communities, and was not accepted outside of those communities until the spark of fl pride, ignited in the 1960s, caught fire in the ’70s and ’80s.
		It was probably the appearance of a musical group called Peru Negro which rescued fl music and dance from obscurity and finally gave name and form to something that, until that time, seemed fragmented and elusive.

		Negrura Peruana performs the music and dance of Peru's African and criollo population, originally living in the coastal area around Chincha south of the capital and later transplanted to the urban center of Lima.
		This music, a form of resistance to social and racial domination, always existed among those of African descent (currently numbering about two million, or one-twelfth the population), but did not become well known or popular in Peru until the 1990s.
		Although they are not professionally trained musicians, their performances show a deep love for the music and a spontaneous but highly skilled mastery of the complex rhythms, accents, and phrasings especially when accompanying the dancers.

		Now in the 90's, this music is the pride of Peru, cassettes are sold on the streets alongside techno, Megadeath and Andean folk groups.

	Afro Peruvian: Afropop Style -- Peru, South America
		A blind listener might think that Afro-Peruvian music sounds a bit like its cousins in Venezuela, Cuba, and Puerto Rico, a mix of Spanish and West African: percussion, scrapers, acoustic guitars, bass and vocals.
		The Peruvian lando has become so closely associated with Black Peruvina music (such as the "son" to Cuba and the "samba" to Brazil) that it has almost become "the" sound of Black Peru.
		Needless to say, the Alcatraz was forbidden by the colonial authorities during the slavery period for being "immoral." But in fact, this dance--full of energy and excitement, and a sense of danger--captures the true Peruvian experience.
