The atajos de negritos are groups of Afro-descendant men, boys and girls who take to the streets of El Carmen-Peru at Christmas time, usually from December 23rd to January 7th, where they perform dances and songs. They are traditional troops performing as they are formed by amateurs, residents and people with connections to El Carmen. The objective of this research is to illustrate through the performance ethnography how the music, the performance and the repertoire of the atajo are configured, and to understand how they are linked to the locality in which they occur. This investigation contributed to his field of research by talking about the ways in which contemporary blacks in Peru are turning to traditional expressive forms as a means of conquering space and redefining their local position.
