So Peruvian songs... So now at days my citisens only hear Reggetoon, Cumbia or Salsa, but i know some of peruvian folkloric songs
The most popular so far, and the base who so many foreigners use for their music every time they wanna represent Peru is "El condor pasa". a song who the main instuments are pan flutes. But it's more varied than that, it's a Cuzco native song but they are some varied typical songs, depending on where you are, the style will change. "Marinera" is the most popular from most coastal parts of Peru (Like Lima). And it's usually an "improved" version of Vals, but with some coastal style percussion here on there, considering it's the same song, depending if you are going into northwest or southwest, the style kinda changes. Now we also have Amazonic songs, as you may guess, is more forestal, savage style; the only song i can remember is "Anaconda", it was flutes and so... SO many cuicas. And savage percussion instruments as expected; kinda reminder to African music, makes sense becuase when Peru was a Spanish Colony, they sent so many african for... well you know. Now at days they contributed on some many aspect they made Peru special, of course one of those are the music.
Now a fun fact, some many british people say that Peru created a style of music who years later it will turn into Rock. Yeah, i kinda hear that in someplace, but idk where the video is(i only remember it was an iceberg), even if i had the video... it's in spanish so unless you know the lenguage or use subtitles good luck finding it. Maybe i can put that video here if i may find it. And it would also be helpful who knows.
