Kantu
This is an ancient style of music created by the Incas on the Peruvian and Bolivian highlands. Modern versions of this style still use the Quechua language and the ceremonial panpipe. Some musicologists argue that the name for this style comes from the Spanish word 'canto' meaning 'song.' Linguists might argue that the name comes from the Quechua word 'k'antu' which is a widely known flower in Bolivia.
