Discuss the origins of the Afro-Peruvian genre landó.

What will be an ideal response?

• The landó music genre is part of "'[t]he revival and reconstruction of ancient and almost forgotten ‘Afro-Peruvian' song-genres [that] began in the late 1950s. Rather than originating in a popular spontaneous movement, this was initiated by local intellectuals interested in the revival and recognition of the contribution of blacks to Peruvian culture' [WOM citing Romero, 1994]." This movement took place in spite of a substantial reduction of African musical instruments and African-related musical practices prior to present-day Peru, which at one time had been "a major nucleus of African slavery."
