Afro-Peruvian Music: A Lando
Afro-Pop Worldwide - Read this fascinating description about the history of afro-pop in Peru!
"During colonial times, the Spanish actually banned drums throughout Peru. Percussionist and documentarian Manongo Mujica explains that there is evidence in old drawings by French and British travelers, as well as some Spanish muralists that African drums and marimbas once existed in Peru. Fearing its use in communication on one hand, and its overpowering effect on its audience, transforming participants into trance-like states, something not very popular with the Catholic church, the authorities were paralyzed. They were no longer able to preach their Christian dogmas. They thought, "Maybe the music, the rhythm and the religion are connected. Maybe it is a signal from the devil."
