The Geometry of the Peruvian Lando and its Diverse Rhythmic Patterns

Sammendrag

Abstract: The lando in Peru is considered to be sensual, musically interesting and complex to perform. This work presents a new insight into the lando using different metrics taken mainly from the fields of computer science and mathematics. These measures attempt to quantify musical concepts such as rhythmic complexity, syncopation, and regularity. In addition, a measure based on the Fourier transform is proposed as a rhythmic regularity measure. During the Afro-Peruvian revival the lando suffered a period of stylization that started in the 1950s and culminated in the 1970s. The three drum patterns that became representative for the lando are compared to the one used in the first lando ever recorded, Samba Malato. The use of phylogenetic trees supports the uncertain history behind the lando, since none of these four rhythms seems to be the ancestor or progenitor of any of the others. Nevertheless, this might open possibilities for further research including musical transcriptions of old recordings, which could also be analyzed using the methods discussed in this article.
