16 Pururruna - Luis Valdivia Pozo (Tribute to Charango)

A charango is a musical instrument to ten cords (five cords doubled pinches) out of nylon resembling a small guitar. Following the arrival of the Spaniards to America, the natives took as a starting point the guitar to create this small instrument. After its creation, it had much influence on the Andean countries. The first charangos were built by using the carapace of armadillos of small size, called Kirkincho, like case of resonance. This practice continues although certain races of armadillos are protected. However, the use of wood for the case of resonance is increasingly frequent, best the charangos while being conceived of only one part.

Peruvian carnivals are marked by the festive character of Andean areas, which regularly break with their solemn traditions. Beyond regional variations, a common characteristic of nearly the entire highland chain is the ritual of the yunza, called umisha in the jungle and cortamonte on the coast. It involves artificially planting a tree trunk laden with gifts, around which the guests dance until it is chopped with a machete or an ax. The couple who make the final hack that brings down the tree will then both be in charge of organizing the yunza next year. Peruvians across the country are extremely fond of tossing buckets of water at each other during this festival. Cities where carnivals reach a high point include Cajamarca, Arequipa and Puno.

12 Mujer Andina - Tonada

Heights of Macchu Picchu: I Pablo Neruda From air to air, like an empty net, I went wandering between the streets and the atmosphere, arriving and saying goodbye leaving behind in autumn's advent the coin extended from the leaves, and between Spring and the wheat, that which the greatest love, as within a falling glove, hands over to us like a large moon. (Days of live brilliance in the storminess of bodies: steel transformed into the silence of acid: nights unraveled to the last flour: assualted stamens of the nuptial native land.) Someone waiting for me among the violins found a world like a sunken tower digging its spiral deeper than all the leaves the color of hoarse sulfur: and deeper still, into geologic gold, like a sword sheathed in meteors, I pulnged my turbulent and tender hand into the most genital terrestrial territory. I leaned my head into the deepest waves, I sank through the sulfuric peace, and, like a blind man, returned to the jasmine of the exhausted human springtime.
