Andean music is a family of styles from the Andes — Peru, Bolivia, Ecuador and Chile — rooted in the chants and melodies of Quechua and Aymara peoples who lived across the former Inca Empire, later fused with other elements. Its core public has long been in rural areas and Indigenous communities.
The Nueva Canción movement of the 1970s revived the genre across South America and carried it to places where it had been forgotten or unknown.
In this directory it runs through Inti-Illimani and Bolivia's Los Kjarkas, alongside Peruvian voices like Chabuca Granda, Eva Ayllón and Susana Baca.
