Criolla music, orMúsica Criolla, is a genre of music developed by Peruvians living on the coast using European, Peruvian, and African instruments.Criollo refers to a person with mixed indigenous Peruvian and European heritage. This genre has been around for quite a long time, and you may not notice, but it has influenced western music and entertainment.
Criolla Music is played with at least two instruments, an acoustic guitar and acajon (box-shaped percussion instrument from Peru). There are many songs made with the rhythms and melodies of Criolla Music. The songs are usually about love, romance, and Peru. Music worldwide has adopted the instruments from the genre to set a particular atmosphere and depth.
