Q’eros, Peru. Regeneration of cosmological relationships and specific identities through music

Abstract

One of the main objectives of the music of the Andean community Q’eros is to re-generate and re-create good relations with the cosmos and the spiritual world in which he believes. In this report, I analyse how the indigenous songs of Q’eros and the music and dance that the community has recently incorporated into Peru’s largest pilgrimage – Qoylluriti – achieve the effectiveness of the purpose through similar sound and aesthetic production techniques. Although the specific features of both styles (structure, scale and instrumentation) are significantly different, I look at the way in which music production of both types shares the same approach and serves the same goal, whether it is an intimate ritual within the community or one shared with thousands of other people in the large region.Furthermore, the interpretation of the two types of music serves as a specific identity indicator for Q’eros, depending on their contextual use and the identity sought at the time. In other words, musical choices allow them to change identity between the identity of Q’eros traditional in their natal community and the identity of friends (mestizo) in Qoylluriti.
