Video: Cancion Criolla De Yapa

In Peru, when you go to one of the traditional markets and buy something, at the end of the transaction the vendor will throw in something extra for free. This is called the yapa.

Since October 31 is the Día de la Canción Criolla, a day celebrating this typical Peruvian music, I decided to post two more videos, the yapa, a little extra for lovers of this genre.

In this first video filmed for Peruvian Independence Day, two great female voices, Cecilia Bracamonte and Cecilia Barraza, join together in song. One of them even takes her shoes off and starts dancing!

This second video is a homage to the criollo greats of yesterday and today compiled by a lover of Peruvian criollo music who has an excellent Spanish-language blog, Blog Criollo.
