Abstract

In all the villages of today’s Andean world, such as Naván, the Andean rites, the songs in Quechua, the music, dance and costumes of ancestral origin are still in force, which, despite being dedicated to Catholic idols, are not directly related to them. Our purpose is to demonstrate the pre-Hispanic origin of the festivities and their validity; to this end, we review the corresponding documentary sources and ethnohistorical research, and we relate our observations and experiences recorded during the visit of specialists from the Escuela Nacional Superior de Folklore José María Arguedas and the Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú, whom we accompanied in 2007.
