Folkloric Music and Dances

Based in the Inca city of Cusco, the Centro Qosqo de Arte Nativo (Qosqo Centre for Native Art) is the most important institution dedicated to preserve and cultivate the folkloric music and dances of the Peruvian Andes.

Founded in 1924, its cast counts 70 artists among musicians and dancers. As a result of an ongoing cultural research that spans over 80 years, the Centro Qosqo de Arte Nativo has collected more than 50 original dances and 100 songs. These come from the cities and rural communities of the Andes, and depict the live and traditions of both Cusqueños and the peoples of other Andean provinces.

There are two daily presentations, at 7pm and 8.30pm, held in the Centro Qosqo de Arte Nativo (Av. Sol 604, Phone 084-227901).
