Answer to Question 1
The land music genre is part of 'the 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.
