Composers of all races have contributed to the development of festejo repertoire. Its origins are in a competitive circle dance performed by men playing cajóns. Nowadays, people of all ages and races participate in a witty dance accompanying the festejo. |

| has gloss | spa: El festejo fue la danza representativa del negro criollo en la costa peruana. Instrumentos musicales para esta danza debieron ser originalmente tambores de cuero, el que luego se reemplazó con el cajón y la maraca por la quijada de burro, agregándole guitarra y canto. Los versos del festejo siempre fueron de asunto festivo, de allí su nombre. |
