History

Huayno, waynu in Quechua, is the popular music and dance of the Andes, strongest in Peru, western Bolivia, northwest Argentina and northern Chile, especially among Quechua people. It took shape in colonial Peru, where rural folk music met urban dance music, though some of its elements reach back to the pre-Columbian Andes and the lands of the Inca Empire. The rhythm is its signature: a stressed first beat followed by two short ones. Over it go high-pitched vocals and a long list of possible instruments, from quena flute, siku panpipes, harp and charango to accordion, saxophone, violin, guitar and mandolin. Quechua even has a verb, wayñukuy, for a man inviting a woman to dance a huayno. He offers his right arm or lays a handkerchief on her shoulder, the pair walk the floor, and then comes quick, vigorous stamping, the man following his partner and touching her with his shoulders after a turn. One famous example hides inside another song: the fast second part of Daniel Alomía Robles's "El Cóndor Pasa" is a huayno, while the slow first part is a harawi. Other standards include "Valicha" by Miguel Angel Hurtado and "Vírgenes del Sol" by Jorge Bravo de Rueda.
