Globalization
Due to the advent of globalization, many Afro-Peruvian music genres (especially Festejo) have been experiencing influences from other cultures and genres of music. Afro-Peruvian music was performed only in Afro-Peruvian communities to help create and maintain Afro-Peruvian identity and strengthen social bonds. However, globalization has brought those communities closer to the outside world that Afro-Peruvians started to market their songs to non Afro-Peruvian audiences. Therefore, the music genres, including Festejo, are adapting to the changing environment. Because of this change, the purpose of Festejo changed and many musicians are trying to use it as a way for economic prosperity rather than its traditional role in those communities.



I used these sources listed below because they each contained information about Festejo in the Afro-Peruvian community. The sources did not conflict with any of the information already present on the article and they reinforced what each other said about Festejo. I used each of the sources in my project by summarizing the notes I took from reading the individual sources.
