Peruvian Metal

Peruvian Metal is a subgenre of heavy metal music that originated in Peru in the late 1980s. It is characterized by a mix of traditional Peruvian folk music and heavy metal, often featuring traditional instruments such as the charango, quena, and zampoña. The lyrics are often in Spanish and focus on themes of Peruvian culture, history, and mythology. The genre has become increasingly popular in recent years, with bands such as Los Natas, Los Jaivas, and Los Mox gaining international recognition.
