Peruvian music is as diverse as the country’s geography, from Andean folk to Afro-Peruvian rhythms. The haunting sounds of Andean panpipes and charangos are exemplified in the music of Lucho Quequezana. Chabuca Granda’s compositions, like the iconic “La Flor de la Canela,” beautifully represent coastal criollo music. In Afro-Peruvian music, Susana Baca has gained international recognition for her soulful interpretations of traditional rhythms. Rock en español has also flourished in Peru, with bands like Mar de Copas achieving cult status.
