Pujillay and Ayarichi, Music and Dances of the Yampara Culture
Pujillay and Ayarichi are complementary musical and choreographic forms of the Yampara culture. Pujillay is performed during a ritual celebrating the renewal of life and abundance brought on by the rainy season while Ayarichi is performed during the dry season at festivals dedicated to various Catholic saints. These cultural practices represent a favoured way to communicate with nature. During performances, extensive community networks are mobilized, including children who learn the associated knowledge and skills through collective games and observation.
