Gran premio del festival hispanoamericano de la danza y la canción

Landó is an Afro‑Peruvian genre of music and dance within the broader música criolla tradition. It is characterized by a lilting 12/8 meter, syncopated percussion (centered on the cajón), handclaps, and a creole guitar accompaniment that often outlines minor‑mode progressions. Historically linked to the arrival of enslaved Africans on Peru’s central coast, landó carries a sensual, undulating groove and frequently employs call‑and‑response vocals and refrains. Today it is heard both in folkloric settings and in contemporary fusions, but remains emblematic of Afro‑Peruvian identity and heritage.
