Rituales Guerreros: Tupay en Chiaraje

1996

Every January 20, the communities of Langui and Cheqa, located in the highlands of the Cusco provinces of Canas and Canchis, reenact a ritual battle known as Tupay on a plain called Chiaraje. Here we can appreciate, along with the magical meaning, the bravery of the warriors, as well as the musical genres that are sung to give courage and the elegance of the dresses of the men and women, as this is an occasion to enliven the attraction between the sexes.
