NUBECITA BLANCA

Maíz is a duo comprised of Cecilia Palles (vocals and charangos) and Martín Rodriguez (guitars). In this
video they perform a song by the Peruvian ethnomusicologist Kike Pinto, a walina or song to water that he
composed in the style of the indigenous community of San Pedro de Casta, Huarochiri, Lima. Natalia Coppa's
clay animation and mixed media backgrounds adds a sublime beauty to an already lovely song. Available on
Youtube.

LA SEÑORA DE SIPÁN
|
This is a short musical celebrating La Señora de Sipán. Sipán is one of the most important archaeological sites in
Peru. Excavated in 1987, the Royal Tombs of Sipán revealed an unprecedented wealth of information on the Moche culture
that thrived from around 100-700 AD. In this cartoon, La Señora de Sipán is friends with other fictional women from other
cultures on the northern coast of ancient Peru--La Mamá de los Chavin, La Vecina de Chan Chan, La Chica de Mochica--
and even La Dama de Ampato, which was an Inka maiden of the sun found on Ampato Mountain near Arequipa (named
after the archaeologist, Johann Reinhard, who found her). In reality not all of
these cultures existed at the same time. Nevertheless, this is a very entertaining cartoon that will get people
interested in learning more about Peru. Available on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vrFQRLYFDHg
