Modern Inca music? The complex history of Cusco Huayno

A huge thank you to Andinoncio del Cusco @MegaSparis who has been extremely kind and helpful to me. Please subscribe to his channel if you are interested in Andean music.

In this video, I talk about how the clash of two very different cultures, Spanish and Andean, created a beautiful and unique genre of Peruvian traditional music now known as huayno. While huayno is a mixture of many influences, its heart is truly indigenous, having roots in Incan and even pre-Incan music. it's important to remember, while this video is educational, it reflects my personal opinions. I am always learning new things about my passions and thus I will always make mistakes.

You explained so much. Wonderful. Since I began my love afair with Andean music in 1968, no other kind of music can alter my sense of where I am in time as the tunes from those beautiful mountains. Excellent 5-star video. 🙂

As an Inca living in America and a classical musician in love with Western tonality, nothing still penetrates my heart and soul the way Inca music does. I absolutely love your thoughtful presentation, and as I am about to incorporate some of these Andean elements into one of my compositions, I found this video to be invaluable. I cannot wait to see what else you have done! Bravo!!!

This is a remade version of my original video on this topic because the first version had too many problems to ignore.

Fascinating history, excellent music scholarship and research. Traditional Celtic music is also pentatonic. Perhaps most ancient music is? You have the basis of a musical theory PhD dissertation here. Please copyright it before someone steals it.
