Apuntes para una Historia de los Himnos Quechuas del Cusco

Most Quechua hymns sung today in Cusco trace their origins to the late colonial period, emerging clearly only by the mid-19th century. This study proposes a chronology for the evolution of these hymns from the 16th to the 20th century, analyzing their historical development and suggesting that current forms represent a distinct genre not well-documented before the 1800s. The research examines existing texts to reconstruct this history, offering insights into the enduring expressions of Andean Christianity through linguistic and cultural analysis.
