Welcome, joyful viewers,
to A Journey through
Aesthetic Realms
on Supreme Master
Television.
Home to the ancient
Norte Chico civilization
and the Inca Empire,
the South American
nation Peru has
a long and rich history.
During the past 500 years,
the integration of
indigenous, European,
African and Asian
cultures has made it
one of the world’s
most diverse centers
of artistic expression.
This is particularly
evident in its varied
dancing traditions across
a number of regions.
In today’s program,
we will meet Mr.
Vladimir Llanque Quispe
and Ms. Yola Catacora
Chura from Puno,
who will introduce to us
folk dancing traditions.
We will also watch some
splendid performances
by artists of
the Cusco Center of
Native Art from Cusco.
My name is
Vladimir Llanque Quispe,
I am an inhabitant of
the Puno region.
I come from
Acora District from
the town of Tunuhuaya.
Hallo and welcome!
We are here
in the Cusco Center of
Native Art in Cusco.
The first folk group
of Peru.
Peruvian dances are
an integral part of
the approximately
3000 festivals celebrated
across the country
each year.
I will tell you the customs
that we carry out
every year during
the month of carnivals.
The carnival is related to
the Pachamama,
which is Mother Earth.
We pay tribute to
the Earth, in gratitude,
in return for the produce
from the Andes that
we sow every year.
So, that gratitude
is offered with elements
consisting of fruits,
flowers and dancing.
This is called
the chuspa harness.
Here we designed
the color scheme,
so we can even put in
names and flowers.
And this we do
for the carnival season,
because in the carnival
season we have to dance
with belts, with pouches,
and that's why we weave.
Women also weave belts,
scarves.
The other sister is cutting
the chuspa bag; she is
making the little balls for
the carnival, for dancing.
Now, this chuspa bag
is ready for the dance.
This has a meaning too.
This is a flower that is
in the middle,
that signifies
the potato flower,
and here it has its leaves.
Now there is also
another little figure.
This is a star from Heaven,
that at night is shining
with the moon.
And there are
the color combination
according to one’s taste,
to our costumes
that we wear.
We also weave
and blend colors.
In our free time, besides
weaving, we also sing.
I am the Aymara force,
brothers.
He who plays
the pan flute of
the cantuta, sister.
I am the Aymara force,
brothers.
He who plays
the pan flute of
the cantuta, sister.
I'm the blossom
of the bean.
On the day of
the carnival,
We will dance,
brother and sister.
This outfit is from
my land, Chumbivilcas.
This costume is
of the natives.
We use sandals.
We also use
a “palic,’ a skirt,
the “puyito” (mantle),
our “montera” (hat).
This dance is the dance
of the weavers.
Peru’s farmers celebrate
throughout
the crop growing cycle
with special dances to
express their thankfulness
to Mother Nature.
We're going to the area
of the Lampa province,
the district of Pucara.
The Tarpuy dance is
ancestral because
the Tarpuy dance was
practiced
in the planting season
which is September,
October and November.
During this season
potatoes are planted,
yams are sown,
isaño is also sown,
as well as quinoa, barley,
among other things.
One of the dances
that is practiced in
the department of Puno,
in Acora District,
is the dance of
the chacarero farmers.
This dance is done
every year in gratitude
for the potato produce.
This dance has
three stages.
The first is when
the potato is in full flower.
And the second stage is
when we take out
the produce, the potato,
or in any case review
how many have been
produced.
So this is called
collecting the first seed.
And the third stage is
to the produce that
we have received,
and dance at the end.
And the gentlemen
play the instrument to
the rhythm of the music
that the women dance to,
with many colorful skirts.
This is closely related to
the potato flower because
it is not just one color,
so that is why the women
dress in different colors.
Another one of
the dances, we also have
in the Puno region,
is from the province of
Azángaro and from
the province of San
Antonio de Putina, which
is the dance of the Wifala.
The Wifala dance
represents peace.
The Monday of
the carnival in the door
and around every house,
they decorate with
a myriad of colors,
flowers, can be cantuta,
maybe mustard flower.
This is the Taripacuy.
After this,
the carnival starts.
You have
Carnival Monday,
Carnival Tuesday,
Ash Wednesday, which is
the most important that is
danced in the fields
because there has been
an answer from
the Pachamama, because
there has been produce
and during the carnivals
the first of it is
harvested and eaten.
And in gratitude, people,
the inhabitants are happy
and dance to the beat
of the pinquillos
and unucajas.
The Pinquillo is
a wind instrument,
the unucajas is the drum,
with the beating of
this dance.
And again
the dress is colorful.
When dance-loving
Peruvians come together,
a joyful party follows.
The Qorahuasiri dance
is the encounter
between two communities
on a common border.
This dance is performed
almost at the end
of the carnival.
We call it the final part
of the carnival,
the Cacharpari.
In this dance, couples
from both communities
participate.
I will pass to sister Yola
Catacora Chura, who
also is going to share
which items and things
we have at this meeting.
Every year,
it is customary to dance
between the two borders
and we women carry fruit,
in our lliclla shawls.
We have apple, quince,
and both couples meet
and partake of them,
two women and two men
also.
Let’s now enjoy
a delightful dance
called Wallatas.
Dressed
in vibrant costumes,
the dancers mimic
the playful movements
of a cheerful bird.
This dance comes from
farming communities and
Patacancha Huilloc,
belonging to the district
of Ollantaytambo in the
Urubamba province.
This dance depicts
a beautiful bird named
Wallatas, which has
black and white plumage
and red legs.
For you, from the Sacred
Valley of the Incas:
The Wallatas dance.
I am using a skirt or
black pollera, which
has a red border.
The red border represents
the red-legged bird.
I have a blanket which
in dancing, I move it
like the wings of the bird.
The blanket covers
my arms and so I can
represent it is as if
it were my wings.
I have some sandals,
a many-colored cap with
braids, and pins which
make up the original
decoration of the area.
There are different
dances in which
love is expressed.
I'm here because
I love the folklore
and I like to dance.
We are one big family
who spreads our culture,
our tradition
through dance.
All art forms have
something beautiful.
I like dance because
it belongs to the branch
of visual arts.
So through it, we will
represent the joy
of the personalities
and inhabitants
from their locations.
Our many thanks,
Vladimir Llanque Quispe,
Yola Catacora Chura,
and all others who have
so generously given us
a glimpse of
the wonderful world
of Peruvian dance.
May this gracious art form
long continue to express
the warm-hearted people
of the nation’s
joy and gratitude to
the abundance of nature.
God bless Peru!
