YANGALI, Jorge. DE-AFRICANIZATION ABOUT NEGRERIAS OF THE MANTARO VALLEY-PERU. Revista Chakiñan [online]. 2021, n.14, pp.112-129. ISSN 2550-6722.  https://doi.org/10.37135/chk.002.14.08.

The largest number of Negritos dances in Peru are not performed by people of African descent, but by mestizos and indigenous people, who in recent years have been showing themselves. The objective of the study is to analyze the de-Africanization of these folkloric manifestations. Through the historical review and ethnographic observation of the negrerias dance in December and January of the years 2018, 2019 and 2020 in central Peru -especially the Mantaro valley, this article essays on the changes they have been going through. It is concluded that the African population came as slaves but after the abolition of the slavery, they did not stay or territorialized in the Peruvian highlands. They just left the Andean population the possibility of masking themselves in order to represent them and identify themselves with the discrimination and exploitation, which in this new century is being redefined.

Palabras clave : Peruvian folklore; cultural integration; mestizo; traditional dance; african history.
