Traditional Inca Music

Does anyone know of a traditional Inca music group or at least a recording of as-traditional-as-possible Incan music? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 66.189.199.180 (talk) 21:50, 18 December 2006 (UTC).[reply]

All the genres of Andean music which traditionally are played without string instruments (tarqueada, sikuri, k'antu, chuqilada, chiriguano etc.) are practically 100% pure of spanish influence. My favorite group is Bolivia Manta, it has recorded many examples of such music. Raoul NK 11:26, 25 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Andean music is almost entirely spanish-based and african rhythms-based, like all latin-american music. Andean music is probably less "african" and more "hispanic" that other latin-american styles, that's all. The andean melodies are obviously related to the traditional hispanic songs of the time, and you can check it hearing spanish folk songs (not flamenco, that is a mixture of european hispanic and arabic north-african sounds), like the castillian folk group La Musgaña (search "Las Hilanderas" on YouTube). The guitars, the harps, drums, etc. All it's hispanic-based. It's true that andean music is "indigenous" in the sense that is actually a major cultural feature of native andean communities, but "indigenism" of andean music itself has been over-exaggerated. Only the use of bamboo flutes and panpipes and use of native languages in some lyrics can be considered truly indigenous. Andean native peoples gave a different flavour to hispanic music and created their own style of music, but in essence andean music is nearly all european (hispanic) folk-based and partially african-based in rhythm (latin-american music form) with few (although very remarkable) native features. Finally, reference to "Inca music"... it's a joke, true? Andean music is not "inca music", it's latin-american andean post-colonial music, in the same way that irish and scottish music is not "celtic music", it's irish and scottish post-medieval music. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.25.180.170 (talk) 19:41, 27 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

This page should be linked to Huayno and there should be a discussion of the similarities and differences of "Andean Music" with "Pan-American" Andean Music (i.e., music produced with commercial appeal), Huayno, Huaylash, Sayas, and, even "Andean Cumbia".
