Peruvian Music

The music of Peru is an amalgamation of sounds and styles drawing on Peru's Andean, Spanish and African roots. Andean influences can perhaps be best heard in wind instruments and the shape of the melodies, while the African influences can be heard in the rhythm and percussion instruments, and European influences can be heard in the harmonies and stringed instruments, Pre Colombian Andean music was played on drums and wind instruments, not unlike the European pipe and tabor tradition. Andean tritonic and pentatonic scales were elaborated during the colonial period into hexatonic, and in some cases, diatonic scales.

I've never found about this kind of music but I just listened some of them when I traveled to other cities or when I'm in the bus some people used to sing it. It usually played with guitar and Zampona and Zampona sounds really beautiful.
