Nowadays, Peru music is becoming famous in the world.
These kind of Peru music is becoming well-known, such as as, folklórico, huayno, and chichi. People that have never been to Peru usually only know about the traditional folklórico music that originated in the Andes, and folklórico is one of the oldest music in the world. Huayno is another traditional genre similar to folklórico. It has roots in the pre-Columbian music of the highlands, and most festivals and weddings in the Andean provinces are still feature huayno music, in additional Dina Paucar and Alicia Delgado are two of the most famous huayno performers from Peru. Chicha is the most popular hybrid genres for Peru's urban working class. Chicha music style are fusion of rock, cumbia and huayno that combines wistful guitar riffs with shuffling rhythms and soulful lyrics that usually focus around themes of poverty, heartbreak and life's many
struggles. What is the most important music to a country?
Yes, the national anthem. In 1821, just a month after Peru had proclaimed its independence, the liberator General José de San Martín arranged a public contest to find an official national anthem for the newly independent nation. San Martin and his anthem-selection commission heard seven compositions, but were unequivocal in their final choice. The new Himno Nacional del Perú, otherwise known as the Marcha Nacional del Perú (National March), was to be that of Peruvian composer José Bernardo Alcedo, with lyrics by José de la Torre Ugarte. The national anthem of Peru is called “Himno Nacional Del Peru”. It is very common to hear the national anthem in Peru. When you are walking in the street you will hear little school kids singing with gusto in the early morning; soccer fans sing it with passion before the national team plays in the Estadio Nacional, and definitely singing the national anthem in the celebration of Peru’s Independence Day. The national anthem of Peru has been keep changing until recent years. In 2009, the Peruvian Ministry of Defense announced that the armed forces would sing the chorus and the more upbeat sixth verse instead of the first. However many Peruvian citizens still prefer the first verse, it is the sixth verse that is now the officially sung
stanza.
Since the history of the Peru, combined with many different music culture background. Their music instruments are very diversification, but they have lots of unique music instruments native to Peru, such as quena, the pinkillo, the erke, the antara or siku (also called zampoña), the pututo etc. If you ask me what materials do they use on their music instruments, and my answer is whatever materials they have, but usually rock, wood and animal’s bone. There a one thing that I really want to mention is the Peru’s drums, it is usually manufactured of Camelidaes skin but there were some made with human skin of enemies vanquished or rebel leaders. Also it is documented metal trumpets made of gold, silver and copper, as well as instruments made from bones of Andean deer or dogs. The most excited part of Peru music instruments to me is that they can “build” the wind sound with their instruments such as, the voice of wolves and birds, check the video “Peruvian Inca wind instruments” on YouTube.
