Shaping Society through Dance: Mestizo Ritual Performance in the Peruvian Andes - Chicago Studies in Ethnomusicology CSE
Zoila S. Mendoza
During the patron saint fiesta in the town of San Jeronimo, Peru, crowds gather at sunset awaiting the entrance of the colourful dance troupes, or comparsas. The comparsas have become a powerful way for the local people to make sense of their place in the world. This text looks at this tradition.
