Answer to Question 1

the Nueva Cancin song of Victor Jara, performed by the ensemble Inti Illimani
Bolivian zampoa-ensemble playing a k'antu
the Ecuadorian Quichua sanjun, Muyu muyari, warmigu
Galo Maigua's sanjun, his intended autobiographical Ilumn tiyu
the African-Ecuadorian version of a sanjun performed by Chota River Valley musicians
the Peruvian wayno performed by Chaskinakuy, which shows the globalization of the Andean ensemble phenomenon
refined solo harp music by the son of a renowned central Ecuadorian harpist who ultimately followed in his father's footsteps . . .

an example of the Afro-Peruvian land genre that captures the local coastal caa life and culture
WOM suggests all of the examples speak to strongly felt political concerns; are deep-rooted musical forms of expression; and detailed and attentive attempts, from afar, to capture the overall character of an Andean song-dance type; and the dedicated efforts to recreate local musical style.

Answer to Question 2

the bomba, a traditional genre of the Chota Valley (see African-Ecuadorian music of the Chota River Valley above.
