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]}
