Musica Afroperuana

Musica afroperuana is a genre of music from Peru that combines African rhythms with traditional Peruvian instruments such as the cajón and the quijada. It has its roots in the music of enslaved Africans brought to Peru during the colonial period, and features call-and-response singing and intricate percussion patterns. Today, it is an important part of Peruvian cultural heritage and is celebrated both in Peru and around the world.
