Hugo Carrillo is a Peruvian anthropologist and
Huayno singer.
His concerts, in Quechua language, are full of onomatopoeic words and gestures, as expressed in the Andean region.
Quechua is a Native American language
family spoken primarily in the Andes of South America, derived from an original
common ancestor language, Proto-Quechua.
The official language of the Inca empire was Quechua, although hundreds of local languages and dialects of Quechua were spoken. The Quechua name for the empire was Tawantinsuyu.
Huayno is a genre of popular Andean Music from Peru. It is especially common in Peru and Bolivia. It originated in Peru as a combination of traditional rural folk music and popular urban dance music. High-pitched vocals are accompanied by a variety of instruments, including flute, harp, panpipe, accordion, saxophone, charango, lute, violin, guitar, and mandolin. Some elements of huayño originate in the music of the pre-Columbian Andes. Huayno utilizes a distinctive rhythm in which the first beat is stressed and followed by two short beats.
