1. Carnaval de ArapaEl Carnaval

Carnival, in many countries of the world, has become an international fiesta and has common characteristics: a feeling of freedom and illusion, use of disguise, masks, and costumes, colorful dances, music, and songs, and a lot of joy and fun. In the Christian religions, carnival is a time of preparation for the season of lent.

Carnival is also associated with the agricultural cycle of planting and celebration of the fertility and productivity of the earth. The first celebrations go back in ancient history to Egyptian, Roman, and Greek times in which the rich and poor changed roles during carnival, disguised with masks and costumes. These were festivals, which had origins in primitive times honoring Dionysus (son of Jupiter), the god of fertility, wine, happiness, and pleasure.

Hence, Carnival is associated with spiritual, astronomical, and natural cycles of nature, both in ancient history and in contemporary time.

The Inca festival of HUCHUY POGOY, or the “blooming of plants” during the spring months of February and March in Peru, has become associated with the Christian festival of Carnival since the time of the Spanish conquest. Indigenous traditions have mixed with the European and African traditions brought to the new world in the 15th and 16th centuries. Carnival has ancient festival elements imbedded in the music, dance and traditions. Thus, native people celebrate both their own heritage and the new costumes brought to Peru by the Spanish.

La fiesta Inka a la afloración denominada “HUCHUY –POGOY O afloracion a las plantas” durante el mes de febrero a Marzoera una fiesta donde se practicaba el juego y el duelo que en el carnaval indígena se llama “puqllay”; estas fiestas coincidieron con las fiestas de los carnavales que los conquistadores trajeron a America e impusierón de manera presionante sobre las costumbres Nativas. Muchas de estas fiestas a la afloración son conocidas como Carnavales en la actualidad.

The word Huayno is from the word Wayna, which in Quechwa means youth. Before the colonial times it meant WAYNARICUNATAKY or the Song recreating youth. Huayno is an expression of music and dance of Andean people which was performed since the time of the Incas to give tribute to the earth for the gifts and fruits the earth gives.

Couples dance the Huayno, stamping their feet strongly on the floor or earth. These strong stems represent agricultural and cattle workers. The words of the Huayno come from Incan poetry called harawis, and the songs about rivers, nature, sorrow, joy, adoration, and feeling. estos cantos nos cuentan de los rios, de la naturaleza, de sus penas, de sus alegrias, de su adoracion y de su sentimientos.

It is a joyful and fun dance, always considering the present moment during fiestas, family gatherings and reunions. Su carácter es divertido y jocoso, por lo que siempre está presente para alegrar las reuniones festivas. Además, no es excluyente, ya que niños, adultos y viejos participan en el huayño, contagiándose de su alegría y algarabía.

El Huayno nace durante la epoca Inka y constituyó el baile más conocido en todo el imperio de los incas. La música era esencialmente popular y de múltiples expresiones, manifestándose especialmente en la danza. El huayno proviene de los antiguos Harawis ( Expresion de poesia que expresa sentimientos intimos y amorosas de la literatura popular Inka) y de colectivas alegrías en los laboreos agrícola, sociales y jolgorios juvenilesEl WAYÑU era una manifestacion artistica que reunía las tres formas artísticas de la expresión: la poesía, la música y la danza a la vez, era la interpretación de la naturaleza y en él está presente la fuerza telúrica misteriosa que unía al hombre inkaico con la tierra. LA WAYÑA que era la danza cantada de tipo colectivo de varias parejas de ambos sexos, uniendo sus manos y colocados de frente, cantaban la melodía sencilla a ritmo lento.

Huayno en el Cusco

26

El departamento del Cusco los huaynos se realizan en dos modos; los huaynos tipicos cantados en la lengua quechua que hatsa el dia de hoy existen y los huaynos de la ciudad cantandos en español que nacieron despues de la colonia. Cada lugar del departamento del cusco tiene su forma caracteristica de bailar y cantar el huayno. Por lo general en el cusco se mantiene la siguiente estructura del huayno.

El hayno en el departamento del Cusco es exclusivamente una danza de parejas, generalmente suelta, y de pañuelo. En las clases populares es más frecuente el contacto físico: tomarse las manos y hasta abrazar a la mujer por la derecha. En las clases populares se invita a bailar poniendo el pañuelo en el hombro del invitado. Las mujeres suelen hacerlo, sobre todo cuando el invitado es de un estatus considerado más alto. Hay dos momentos en el baile: el paseo y el zapateo. El zapateo se baila con la pareja muy junta, a veces tomadas de las manos y las vueltas que elos bailarines se dan representan las flores que ellos cultivan en los campos del sur del Peru.

Cusco

El departamento del Cuzco se encuentra ubicado en la zona suroriental del país, abarcando zonas de sierra y selva. y situada sobre los 3,360 msnm.Su capital es la ciudad del Cuzco, conocida como la "Capital Arqueológica de America”.

According to legend, Cusco is the sacred capital of the Imperio del Tahuantinsuyo. It was founded in the 11th and 12th centuries of present time by the Inca Manco Cápac, who came from out of the Lago Titicaca. It was the

28

center of government of the four extensive quarters of the Imperio Incaico which occupied the greater part of present day Ecuador, Colombia, Perú Bolivia, Argentina y Chile. El 23 de marzo de 1534, Francisco Pizarro fundó, sobre la ciudad del Cusco una ciudad española, que se construyo sobre los cimientos incas. Cusco es, por lo tanto; un típico ejemplo de fusión y sincretismo cultural habiendo heredado monumentos arquitectónicos y obras de arte de valor incalculable. En el Cusco virreynal se sucedieron grandes revoluciones contra el dominio español como la de José Gabriel Condorcanqui (Túpac Amaru II) en 1780, la de los hermanos Angulo en 1813 y la de Mateo Pumacahua en 1814. En 1911, el investigador norteamericano Hiram Bingham descubrió la imponente ciudad incaica de Machu Picchu.

5. Inga Baile de Ica African culture in Peru

Black Rhythms of Peru: Reviving African Musical Heritage in the Black Pacific, she discusses the struggles faced by Africans living in Peru throughout most of their history. Africans were brought across the Atlantic to work as slaves during the 1800s landing in Rio de la Plata. A small number of Africans made a second journey on land over to the Pacific Coast of South America settling in Peru denominated “Black Pacific” culture. In fact, not until the 1950s and 60s did the Afro-Peruvian culture really begin to revive and flourish largely due to cultural expression in the forms of music and dance. According to drawings by French and British travelers, African drums and marimbas once existed in Peru and the catholic religions tried to eliminated all customs of the African culture, the Africans despite their great efforts to squash African culture and identity, creativity through music created a whole new identity evolving into the Afro-Peruvian culture we have today with new instruments, dances, and types of music.
