Abstract

The ethnographic investigation of the Harawi in the rural community of San Pedro de Cumbe - Conchamarca was carried out based on field work. In order to achieve the objectives proposed in the research, this ancestral musical form has been systematically described in order to explain and describe the transcendence of the harawi, as well as to identify the musical instruments used in this musical form. A compilation and transcription of the harawi melodies of the peasant community of San Pedro de Cumbe has also been carried out. The methodology used for this research work was of qualitative approach and ethnographic design. The technique used was observation and semi-structured interview in which our instrument was the observation guide and the interview guide. The state of the harawi has been explained, using different sources of information such as bibliographic, hemerographic and experiential sources. In the ethnography we demonstrated the systematization of the information where we were able to interpret the symbolism of the costumes, the message of the festival, as well as the diffusion, compilation, transcription and analysis of the music. For the interviews, we were supported by four members of the peasant community, all of them protagonists of the harawi festival, Finally, we conclude with the demonstration of the objectives, describing the current state of the harawi, as well as explaining the achievements of the compilation and transcription of the respective melodies.
