    The music of Peru has been influenced by different cultures over time. During the Inca period, music was pentatonic and accompanied rituals and dances. With the Spanish conquest, European music was introduced along with African rhythms. Creole music later emerged blending these influences along with genres like the waltz and polka. In the 20th century, genres like criollo, huayno and cumbia flourished alongside the development of Peruvian rock bands.

    The Peruvian Music

    During the Inca period the music was pentatonic, mixing the notes Re, Fa, Sol, La and Do to
    create compositions that could be religious, warrior or profane.

    Dance, music and sing were present in communal or rituals activities like Uaricsa arahui or Inca
    dance, llamaya, Pastoril dance, huarahuayo, agricultural dance and others.

    With the conquest and the subsequent colonial era, the Peruvian territory receives the
    influence of European music and later Afro-Peruvian.

    The Viceroy Conde de Lemos brought from Spain the composer Tomás de Torrejón y Velasco.
    He premiered The Purple of the Rose in the City of King.

    Juan Araujo was one of the first to fuse European rhythms with African origin in the carol Los
    Negritos, including the particular style of Spanish spoken by black communities.

    During the colony the dance had two periods according the dynasties in the Metropolis. The
    first was influence by Austria's home (XVI and XVII centuries) and the second was Bourbon
    influence (XVIII and XIX centuries). In the first, Flemish, Italian and German music enters, while
    in the second, French models enter.

    In the same period the Creole music and African rhythms were primitive. During the
    government of Viceroy Abascal, Italian opera was very popular in Lima, this viceroy tried to
    impose the styles of Andrés Bolognesi, Cimarosa, Paisiello and Rossini. After the independence
    and a brief period in which the local music was fashionable, Rossini returned to monopolize
    the tastes in Lima.

    With the republican era Creole music was born influenced by the Frenchness of the minuet,
    the Viennese waltz, the Polish masurca, the Spanish jota and the mestizo expressions of the
    central coast. The musical production in the early twentieth century was very intense and the
    composers were mostly people from the neighborhoods that were characterized by having a
    particular style for each neighborhood. At this time is known as the Old Guard, and their
    compositions had no scores and they were not recorded and many of its authors were lost in
    anonymity.

    To this the beginning of the broadcasting in Peru in 1935 is increased to him, with this the
    Creole music quit to being exclusive of the popular sectors and a Creole feeling begins to be
    seen in Lima like the national music.

    In 1944 the Creole Song was institutionalized. Years later, President Odría invited the criollos
    troveros to the Government Palace. According to Llorens (1983), the background of this was
    that the middle and upper classes looked for a point to legitimize their Peruvianness as
    opposed to the migration from the Andean zone to the city, these groups did not accept the
    Andean as a national symbol.

    In the 50s, Peruvian rock appears applied to any variety of rock and roll, blues rock, jazz rock,
    pop rock, etc. After a decade they took over the Lima scene, mainly giving a number of bands
    experimented with new sounds both British and American . Groups like Los Saicos, Los York's,
    Los Shain's or soloists like Jean Paul "El Troglodita" among many others diversified and
    enriched the Peruvian movement both in Lima and in provinces.
    Currently there are many musical genres used in Peru like : The alcatraz, cumbia norteña,
    southern cumbia, huayno, guaracha, huayno, caporales, chicha, northern sailor, marinera
    limeña, huaylas, morenada, waltz, underground tonderorock, Peruvian rock, techno cumbia,
    salsa, and others.
