Peruvian Music
Submitted by mike on Tue, 02/05/2008 - 19:21.
One of the best ways to get an approach to peruvian culture is through its traditional and popular music.
There are in Peru three distinct geographical regions: the Costa, coastal zone bordered by the Pacific Ocean; the Sierra, highlands where is the Andean mountain chain with peaks above 5,000 mts.; and the Selva, lowlands located in the Amazon Basin on the eastern side of the country which borders mainly Brasil.
In each of these regions there are many musical styles with particular characteristics developed into the form of ethnic, folk or popular music.

Do you have any examples of the different types of music for those of us who aren't from Peru? I am interested in knowing what the different kinds of music are like. Thanks!
