Ayarachi
El origen de esta Danza Ayarachi, se ubica en el Periodo Transicional y Violento de la Conquista Española. Se ejecuta exclusivamente en los Pueblos Cordilleranos Quechuas de las Montañas de Paratía en la Provincia de Lampa Departamento de Puno.

En los últimos Decenios de este Siglo se presenta en el pueblo de Lampa. El Ayarachi no ha incursionado en otras provincias y no a llegado aún ala fiesta de la candelaria en Puno.

El Signo Ritual imprime el acento de la Música Lúgubre que parece al propio tiempo un quejido y una protesta. La presentación de la Danza es muy Severa, Majestuosa y Ritual, que ofrece un impresionante espectáculo, hay severidad en los atuendos, en el ritmo que le sirve el Fondo Musical y en la apostura de los Danzantes.
