The Andes region expands through much of South America (including Columbia, Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia, and North of Chile), and therefore innumerous quantities of rhythms, musical styles and melodies each stemming from particular areas fit under the term: "traditional Andean music." The most familiar of these rhythms, styles or melodies are the: Huayno, Sikuri, San Juanito, Carnavalito, Trote, Saya, Tuntunas, Huaylas, Yaravi, Marinera, Cueca, Pandilla, Llamerada, Cuyahuada, Bailecito, Pasillo, San Juan, Albaso, Diablada, Tondero, Samba, etc. The instruments that the natives use (and/or the different materials with which they make them) are also particular to specific areas, and are directly related to the natural elements at hand for the making of the instruments. While in one area the back of a charango might be made with the carcass of an armadillo, in another it might be made with the shell of a tortoise; while in one area the sikus flute (pan flute) might be made from thin and long bamboo, producing a windy sound, in another area it might be made with thick and wide bamboo, producing a full sound, or, while in one area a dried gourd (the Guiro) might be used for percussion, in another a dried bean pod (the Vaina) might serve instead; etc. Following is a partial list of native and string instruments used in Andean music:

Search The Web! Search The Web! Search The Web! Search The Web! Free Travel Cheap Tickets Auction ... Make Money Peru HISTORY When the Spanish landed in 1531, Peru's territory was the nucleus of the highly developed Inca civilization. Centered at Cuzco, the Inca Empire extended over a vast region from northern Ecuador to central Chile. In search of Inca wealth, the Spanish explorer Francisco Pizarro, who arrived in the territory after the Incas had fought a debilitating civil war, conquered the weakened people. The Spanish had captured the Incan capital at Cuzco by 1533 and consolidated their control by 1542. Gold and silver from the Andes enriched the conquerors, and Peru became the principal source of Spanish wealth and power in South America. Pizarro founded Lima in 1535. The viceroyalty established at Lima in 1542 initially had jurisdiction over all of South America except Portuguese Brazil. By the time of the wars of independence (1820-24), Lima had become the most distinguished and aristocratic colonial capital and the chief Spanish stronghold in America. Peru's independence movement was led by Jose de San Martin of Argentina and Simon Bolivar of Venezuela. San Martin proclaimed Peruvian independence from Spain on July 28, 1821. Emancipation was completed in December 1824, when General Antonio Jose de Sucre defeated the Spanish troops at Ayacucho, ending Spanish rule in South America. Spain made futile attempts to regain its former colonies, but in 1879 it finally recognized Peru's independence.

A New Ceviche Recipe Has Been Added to the Recipes! Culinary History of Peru Peruvian cuisine is one of the best in South America and it's known not only for its exquisite taste, but also for its variety and ability to incorporate the influence from different times and cultures. The Peruvian cuisine is an important expression of its own culture just as its ceramics, textiles, music and literature. Thanks to Peru's three regions and ocean there are an abundance of markets that can offer a variety of fresh ingredients that satisfy not only the housewife but also the most sophisticated chef. The culinary history of the Peruvian food dates back to the Incas and pre-Incas with its maize, potatoes and spices that later was influenced by the arrival of the Spanish colonies, and throughout the years it incorporated the demands of the different migrations and "mestizajes". Such groups included Chinese, European, African and Japanese immigrants. The Incas...

Interesting material on archeaology, history, culture and the arts. The Cultures of Ancient Peru Sacsahuaman which is 1500 ft. long containing 200,000 sculptured stones weighing as much as 75 tons. The Inca were the first to build coated highways from tar taken from natural reserves near Talara, Peru. Archeological treasures are unearthed every day reflecting many of the oldest and some of the world's most cultured civilizations which existed long before Christ. Sources of valuable information about these people are found through architectural remains, and objects of stone, clay, gold, textiles, and other materials they buried with their dead. The Spanish arts and reports on their experiences with the Inca are another source of important information. Although, this Spanish Colonial material must be viewed and understood with the knowledge of the ideas and prejudices of colonial times. Accurate chronologies of the cultures of pre-Columbian Peru have been built by archaeologists, even though the looters have over the years caused much destruction of countless artifcts and sold them with no record of where they originated. In the last sixty years many sites have been excavated by archaeologists and they have studied the artifacts and dated them through scientific methods. These researchers have identified successive art styles to establish a cultural sequence for the ancient peoples of Peru. Some periods we now understand a great deal about the people and their way of life, and in other cases we know very little.

History of the Conquest of Peru by William Prescott Terms Contents Preface BOOK 1 ... Part II Preface ongestae cumulantur opes, orbisque rapinas Accipit. Claudian, In Ruf., lib. i., v. 194. "So color de religion Van a buscar plata y oro Del encubierto tesoro." Lope De Vega, El Nuevo Mundo, Jorn. 1. The most brilliant passages in the history of Spanish adventure in the New World are undoubtedly afforded by the conquests of Mexico and Peruthe two states which combined with the largest extent of empire a refined social polity, and considerable progress in the arts of civilization. Indeed, so prominently do they stand out on the great canvas of history, that the name of the one, notwithstanding the contrast they exhibit in their respective institutions, most naturally suggests that of the other; and when I sent to Spain to collect materials for an account of the Conquest of Mexico, I included in my researches those relating to the Conquest of Peru. The death of this illustrious man, which occurred some time after the present work was begun, has left a void in his country not easy to be filled; for he was zealously devoted to letters, and few have done more to extend the knowledge of her colonial history. Far from an exclusive solicitude for his own literary projects, he was ever ready to extend his sympathy and assistance to those of others. His reputation as a scholar was enhanced by the higher qualities which he possessed as a man,by his benevolence, his simplicity of manners, and unsullied moral worth. My own obligations to him are large; for from the publication of my first historical work, down to the last week of his life, I have constantly received proofs from him of his hearty and most efficient interest in the prosecution of my historical labors; and I now the more willingly pay this well-merited tribute to his deserts, that it must be exempt from all suspicion of flattery.

Peru Country Code: pe Flag of Peru Background: Ancient Peru was the seat of several prominent Andean civilizations, most notably that of the Incas whose empire was captured by the Spanish conquistadores in 1533. Peruvian independence was declared in 1821, and remaining Spanish forces defeated in 1824. After a dozen years of military rule, Peru returned to democratic leadership in 1980, but experienced economic problems and the growth of a violent insurgency. President Alberto FUJIMORI's election in 1990 ushered in a decade that saw a dramatic turnaround in the economy and significant progress in curtailing guerrilla activity. Nevertheless, the president's increasing reliance on authoritarian measures and an economic slump in the late 1990s generated mounting dissatisfaction with his regime. FUJIMORI won reelection to a third term in the spring of 2000, but international pressure and corruption scandals caused him to resign in November of that year. A caretaker government oversaw new elections in the spring of 2001, which ushered in Alejandro TOLEDO as the new head of government.

Please bookmark this site and visit it again soon. Chan Chan and Threats to Its Survival Chan Chan was the capital of the Chimu kingdom, the chief state in Peru before the establishment of the Inca Empire. The Chimu kingdom reached the height of its power in the fifteenth century, not long before falling under the Incas. The planning of this huge city, the biggest in pre-Colombian America, reflects an elaborate system of social-class stratification. The center of the city is divided into nine walled "citadels," each constructed out of adobe brick finished with mud, and each containing temples, cemeteries, gardens, reservoirs and symmetrically arranged rooms. These citadels, it is believed, were the living quarters, burial places and warehouses of the aristocracy. The bulk of the city's population, however, lived outside of the citadels in much more modest quarters. Because these remnants of a complex culture and society require continuous protection from natural erosion, the abandoned and fragile site of Chan Chan was inscribed on the World Heritage List in 1986.

For years it has been known to international travelers as home to some of the world's greatest ancient wonders, including the Inca ruins of Machu Pichu and the Nasca Lines. The history of the Incas and Peru's many struggles make for a fascinating story. More than fifty distinct indigenous peoples still live in Peru; recently many of them have moved to the cities. This shift of population from rural to urban has enlivened Peruvian cities with a new sense of diversity. While the Quechua culture remains strong in the Peruvian Andes.
