about

Afro-Peruvian music, also known as “música criolla”, finds its roots in West African music, Spanish and European genres and native musical traditions from Peru. After a long struggle to preserve it through oral means over generations, a renewed interest in those rhythms and melodies arose in the 1950s.

The dance company Perú Negro won the main award at 1969’s Festival Hispanoamericano de la Danza y la Canción, and a few years later their repertoire was included in this album, a key record in Afro-Peruvian culture which introduced música criolla to a wider audience.

------------------------------------------

La música afroperuana, conocida también como música criolla, tiene sus raíces en la música de África Occidental, géneros españoles y europeos y tradiciones musicales nativas de Perú. Tras un largo esfuerzo por preservar esta riqueza cultural a través de medios orales durante generaciones, a partir de los años 50 surgió un renovado interés por estos ritmos y melodías.

La compañía de baile Perú Negro recibió el galardón principal en el Festival Hispanoamericano de la Danza y la Canción de 1969, y cuatro años más tarde su repertorio se incluyó en este álbum, un disco clave en la cultura afroperuana que llevó la música criolla a un público más amplio.
