Peru: Limenians will celebrate on the "Day of Creole Music"
LivinginPeru.com
Isabel Guerra
According to a poll conducted by the Universidad de Lima (University of Lima) and published today in El Comercio, most Limenians prefer to celebrate the “Día de la Canción Criolla” (Day of “Creole” Music) rather than Halloween.
Almost 90% of those polled said that they do like the so-called “creole” music (coastal popular folk music) and 58.3% said they would go out and celebrate it.
Some of the most remembered and favored songs among Limenians and “chalacos” (people from port of Callao) are Chabuca Granda's “La Flor de la Canela,” and Augusto Polo Campos' “Contigo Perú” and “Y se llama Perú.”
On the other hand, only 22% of the polled agreed with celebrating Halloween in Peru, which is seen only as an American tradition.
The survey was carried out with 596 citizens randomly selected in 39 districts of the capital and the first port in the country. It also has a confidence level of 95% and a margin of error of 4.09%
