Luis Alvarado: Afro-Peruvian Rhythms

Lima, 14.07.24

Afro-Peruvian music portrays a memory of the experiences of African communities that arrived in Peru during the colonial era. The blend of musical traditions (Spanish and indigenous) resulted in new dance styles such as landó, festejo, and hatajo, always supported by a percussion base, where the use of the cajón, quijada, or zapateo stands out.

Over time, it incorporated instruments and rhythms from the Afro-Cuban tradition. Afro-Peruvian music has had many prominent artists, and its influence can be seen in other musical genres (jazz, rock, or electronic music). This selection showcases the musical richness of its rhythms.
