The power and beauty of Andean music<\/strong> often go unnoticed among more Westernized Peruvians, but it is widely recognized and admired by the majority of the population. While some people in Lima may think that rock is everything in Peru<\/strong>, you can find official surveys that indicate that cumbia and huayno<\/strong> (Andean music<\/strong>) are the genres most listened to by Peruvians. Only 6% of people listened to rock.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Cusco<\/strong> city, you can hear Andean music<\/strong> almost everywhere: over the radio in taxis and on public buses, on the street accompanying dancers during a parade, at a massive concert on the Plaza de Armas. Over the centuries, Andean music<\/strong> has continued to thrive in both Quechua and Spanish, adapting to changing times and contexts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These melodies that touch the souls of Andean people are accompanied by ingenious and profoundly poetic lyrics that can match classic French or German poetry<\/strong> any day. for this reason, we want to show you some examples of the deep and subtle poetry with its roots in the Andes that you can easily find on Spotify.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
