Chumaichada
La Chumaichada is a typical dance from the Amazonas Region, Peru.[1] It is particularly associated with Chachapoyas.[1]
The music is likely of indigenous origin.[2] but the choreography has a French origin, stemming from "Los lanceros" (The lancers) - a dance which was imported into Chachapoyas by the bishop of the diocese at that time, monsignor Emilio Lissón, of French origin.[citation needed]
