Answer to Question 1

the distinctive character of Peruvian harp-accompaniment style
the vocal quality of the female singer of wayno:
distinctive melodic turns of the vocal phrase
portamentosliding to tones
focused, clear vocal quality

Answer to Question 2

(1) The harp is prominent in the two selections, both as an accompanying and lead instrument.
(2) Both examples illustrate the familiar Andean bimodality--minor scale/key and its relative major (B minor/D major in the case of CD 3:6).
(3) In both CD 3:3 and CD 3:6 the accompanying rhythms are tapped on the harp soundbox rather than on a drum.
(4) Accompanying rhythmic patterns in both selections involve three-note marker patterns: short-long-short in CD 3:3; long-short-short or triplet of three notes, short-short-short, in CD 3:6.
