Afro-peruvian musica
In the early 1700's when slaves were banned from using drums by the colonialists and the Catholic Church their rhythmical songs were adapted to the cajón—a wooden box of agricultural origins and a mainstay in Black Peru (now the national instrument of el peru). A hybridization of African, Indian, Latin, and European music evolved over the next 200 years, but in the late 1950s the African elements of Peruvian music were reborn. The main players include divas Susanna Baca, Eva Ayllon and the band Peru Negro.
