Erotic, ritual and pagan dances, for the different
social activities and religious parties of the communities.
MARINERA Y PANDILLA PUNEÑA.- It is the
characteristic of the carnival of Puno city. Its origin dates during
the last period of the colony and the first period of the republican
era, where the native woman “cholita” and the Spanish boy “señorito”
dance. It is the most mestizo expression, fusion of the “huayño”
and the Spanish and French gang. A man carrying a cane determines
the start of the dance performed with the most erotic music of the
“cholo” art, expressing colour, light and love for the scenery of
Puno and the land that saw them grow.
CACHARPARI.- Farewell dance performed
in all religious and carnival festivities of the town of the high
flatland. The groups of “sikuris”, dancers of catholic faith and
the carnival dancers, dance with the music of bands, “estudiantinas”
(small elegant musical groups), “quenachos”, etc. With happy and
sad music because the party is over until next year, ending with
love and marriage choreography.
