VERY SPECIAL CONTENT, one of a kind. This is music notation of the original walina, the melody of "Kunyaq", prepared as a way to hear how it was composed by Don Juan Rojas of the Community of San Pedro de Casta.

Maestro Kike Pinto and I have prepared this material in a collaborative effort. A way to document the actual walina melody that was originally sung by the community during the Champería.

Sheet music includes TAB adapted for charango. (2 pages)

A unique offering, as walinas are traditionally sung without instrumental accompaniment.

PLEASE READ THIS ARTICLE written by Kike Pinto for more important information about the origin and source of this walina : “Desde Kunyaq Vienes” Article: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1jNEGF-itx6sJlsaCt1Dunp2Hl_Oijra9/view?usp=sharing

KUNYAQ / DESDE KUNYAQ VIENES is a WALINA.

INFO:

Walinas are songs dedicated to the element WATER, sung each October during the 8-day "Champería" festival in San Pedro de Casta, Huarochirí province, Peru, during which all the waterways are cleared out by the community. New walinas are created and sung each year to support the cleaning of said waterways.
