Many performers have achieved mass appeal and recording
contracts in Peru and can support themselves solely by their work as musicians.
Nationally celebrated performers include Florcita de Pisaq (a huayno vocalist),
Pastorita Huaracina (a singer of both cholo and mestizo varieties) and Jaime
Guardía (a virtuoso of the charango).
These performers take pride in being bearers of tradition, play at most
traditional festivals and hire themselves out to wealthier villages to provide
music for those festive events that require it. Although they may hold little
attraction for the wealthy urban population (who tend to deny their roots), they
often appear at large venues in major urban areas. They appeal to the displaced
campesinos and city migrants who live in the pueblos jóvenes, or squatter
settlements, which have sprung up on the outskirts of the large coastal cities.
These artists travel a circuit of major urban centres, including Cusco, on local
concert tours.
Recordings of these artists are generally only available locally, but they can
sometimes be found in shops catering for Latin American immigrants.
Occasionally, an artist of this type will end up on an album collection.
