Must Mix: Creole Waltz

By Chilled Magazine

Courtesy of RUKA’s Beverage Director Will Thompson, the Creole Waltz receives its name from the vals criollo, or creole waltz, that emerged during a time period called La Guardia Vieja (c. 1900- 1920) as a result of Afro-Peruvian, European, and indigenous musical influences.

Throughout the 1920s and 1930s, the creole waltz became the main musical expression of the urban working class, with its lyrics reflecting their cultural personality, conflicts, and value systems.
