The Anthem of Cusco (Spanish: Himno del Cusco, Quechua: Qosqo yupaychana taki) is, along with the flag and the coat of arms, one of the official symbols of the city of Cusco. It was composed by Roberto Ojeda Campana, and its lyrics were written by Luis Nieto Miranda in 1944.
History
[edit]The lyrics of the anthem were written in 1944 by the poet Cusqueño Luis Nieto Miranda and the music was composed by the Cusqueño musician Roberto Ojeda Campana.[1] It was first used that same year in the celebration of the first day of Cusco.[2] On June 11, 1984, the Provincial Council of the Municipality of Cusco, through Municipal Agreement No. 17, declared the original text of the lyrics official and unalterable, mandating that it be sung at all public events immediately after the National Anthem of Peru.[3]
In 1991, the teachers Faustino Espinoza Navarro and Mario Mejía Waman, members of the Academia Mayor de la Lengua Quechua, translated the lyrics of the anthem into Quechua.[3] On March 7, 2019, the Municipality of Cusco issued Ordinance No. 007-2019, declaring it of public interest and historical necessity to institute the singing of the Anthem of Cusco in Quechua at civic events in all public and private institutions of the Cusco Province.[3]
