WELCOME WORDS FROM THE APU PRESIDENT ERICK HUARCAYA In the name of the board of the Asociación Peruanos Unidos (APU) we salute and welcome you to the ‘Peruvian Night 2015’. We are glad that you can join us! APU was founded in 1994 to organize the ‘Peruvian Night’ with the participation of Peruvian families living in the city of Lawrence. Throughout these years the “Peruvian Night’ has been part of the ‘Semana Hispana’. This year our efforts has been focused to create an event that can led you to appreciate part of the cuisine, music, dances, festivals and craft from Peru. The central inspiration for this celebration is the Inti Raymi (Festival of the Sun) celebrated during the Inca Empire. You will be able to find more information about Peru, the Inti Raymi festival and APU in this publication. Finally I want to thank our sponsors, Santander Bank, Rockland Trust and Enterprise Bank for their support.

Theodorick (Todd) B. Bl and Mr. Bland is the Head of school at Milton Academy, an independent college preparatory K-12 school in Milton, MA. Todd is the Great Grandson of Hiram Bigham III, who discovered the Lost Inca city of Machu Pichu in 1911. For Todd, history is not just about facts and dates. It is also about stories that involve real people, like his ancestors. He learned of his famous Great Grandfather (Hiram Bigham III) through the stories passed down from his grandmother, June Rossbach Bingham, who Todd described as „a great story teller.” When Todd thinks of the discovery of Machu Pichu he thinks of the stories June used to tell him about his great grandfather. In these stories, Hiram Bigham had a deep fascination for the ancient Inca civilization. Hiram his great grandfather was also a very bright, scholarly, and charismatic person. Bigham‘s story is also about collaboration, courage, and luck. In the first month of his expedition to find the ancient Incan city, Bigham met an indigenous farmer by the name of Melchor Arteaga who asked him what he was doing in the Andes. Bigham spoke of his expedition and his goal of finding the Incan ruins. The farmer led him to what is now known as Machu Pichu. Because of Bigham’s work, Machu Pichu is now one of the most visited archeological sites in the world. In 2011, The Bingham family, Mr. Bland and his son, Nicholas Frost Bland was invited to Cusco, Peru to partake in the centennial of the disco-

El Inti Raymi es el rito más antiguo de los Incas que adoraban al Dios Apu Padre Sol. Marca con seguridad la fecha más importante de su calendario anual. Se celebra el 24 de junio en el histórico Cusco, la capital del inmenso Imperio de los Incas, en el solsticio de invierno, al inicio de un nuevo ciclo y en el retorno de la fuente de vida a los Andes. El Inti Raymi fue creado por el Inca Pachacutec para celebrar el año nuevo en los Andes, dar gracias a la Pachamama, para augurar una buena estación de siembras. El primero se celebró en el año 1412. La ceremonia empieza en la mañana en el Qorikancha, o Templo del Sol, donde el Inca pronuncia una invocación u oración al Padre Sol. Después el séquito real se dirige a la Plaza Central. Después de la ceremonia a la sagrada hoja de coca para adivinar el futuro del imperio, el Inca continúa a la inmensa fortaleza de Sacsayhuaman, de piedras gigantescas, en la parte alta fuera de la ciudad. En esta ocasión la antigua fortaleza se convierte nuevamente en el centro espiritual de la vida de los Incas. La ceremonia es recitada enteramente en quechua, la lengua nativa de los Andes. Un fuego es avivado y una llama blanca es “sacrificada” ritualmente. Suenan las antaras, tambores y pututos llenando el ambiente. Luego danzas tradicionales representand o los cuatro suyos del imperio deslumbran los ojos con juegos de colores rojo y amarillo. Ahora el Inti Raymi coincide con la fiesta católica de San Juan Bautista. Es el segundo festival más grande en Sudamérica y una fuente de gran orgullo para los peruanos.

PERU

Peru is located central western coast in South America, facing the Pacific Ocean. It is the third largest country in South America, and has three natural regions, the Coast with deserts and valleys, the Highland at the center of the country and the Oriental area of the Amazon jungle. Those multiple temperatures and altitudes allow Peru to possess 84 of the 104 possible ecosystems of the world, creating a mega diversity of animals and plants. Each natural regions has their own customs, festivities and gastronomy. Peru’s history is much more than the Incas. Ruins of cultures as the Nazca’s, Mochica’s, Chimu’s, Paracas’s, Tihuanaco, Chavin, Chachapoyas’s, and Huari’s are still able to be visited throughout the country. The Inca Empire, lasted only approximately 300 years but their temples, roads and cities are the best preserved. The Spanish conquistador’s arrived in 1532, during a civil war between two brothers trying to take

the Incas’s throne. The Viceroyalty of Peru becomes the center of military and political power of Spain in South America. The independence of Peru in 1821 was reach with big effort from Peruvian revolutionaries and troops that arrived with General San Martin from Argentina, only after to reach the independence of Argentina and Chile. Unfortunately, international wars and Coup d’état marked the early Peruvian republican history until 1980’s. It was followed by a traumatic two-decade internal conflict between the state and the communist guerrilla groups, the Shining Path and the Tupac Amaru Revolutionary Movement. By 2000 most part of these groups were disbanded. Based on the rising prices of copper, silver, lead, zinc, oil and gold, the country experienced an economic boom in the 2000s, and in 2011 Peru was said to have one of the world’s fastest-growing economies. The current president is Mr Ollanta Humala (2011-2016).

HIMNO NACIONAL DEL PERU (PERUVIAN NATIONAL ANTHEM) Coro Somos libres, seámoslo siempre y antes niegue sus luces el sol, que faltemos al voto solemne que la patria al Eterno elevó.

Estrofa I Largo tiempo el peruano oprimido la ominosa cadena arrastró; condenado a una cruel servidumbre largo tiempo en silencio gimió. Más apenas el grito sagrado ¡Libertad! En sus costas se oyó,

la indolencia de esclavo sacude, la humillada cerviz levantó.

Estrofa VII En su cima los Andes sostengan La bandera o pendón bicolor, Que a los siglos anuncie el esfuerzo Que ser libres, por siempre nos dio. A su sombra vivamos tranquilos, Y al nacer por sus cumbres el Sol, Renovemos el gran juramento Que rendimos al Dios de Jacob.
