ORIGIN

Its name is related to the word Kajo, which translated into Spanish means young person. Hence,
Kajelo would be the dance of the youth or of youth.

LOCATION

In the Puna villages, WALAYCHU and LINLICHA are called the boy and the girl who are frisando
the fifteen years of age; he is a lover and dreamer; she a cocoon of love and tenderness. The Kalejo
is a dance that symbolizes romantic confrontation of young people (walaychus and linlichas) who
begin to feel the first and most pure feelings of love.

It is danced in one or several couples of man and woman. Its execution does not have a date nor is it
presented in any Patronal Feast, it is only practiced in spontaneous group meetings.

They dance it in the surrounding towns of Puno and Chucuito, especially in the districts of Pichacami,
Acora and Santa Rosa.
CLOTHING

The walaychu (male) wears: sack and trousers of black cordellate (woolen fabric, whose weft form
cordons), leggings on both legs up to the thighs; thick welded shoes; chullo of a single color; wool
hat with a stone (inclined to one side of the head); black, white or gray poncho; thick and long shawl;
and a cowhide at the height of the shoulder and the hip. The walaychu must also carry his inseparable
charango.

The linlicha (woman): round top hat and skirt turned over; rebozo (cloak or cloak) covering the back
to the waist, tied with lliclla of colors; large skirts of various colors. He does not wear shoes.

MUSIC

The music that accompanies is a romantic melody, that invites to the hope and illusion. The rhythm
is slow and at the same time energetic, which allows for rhythmic movements.

CHOREOGRAPHY

The couples start the dance loose, with romantic grace. The steps are energetic, as if lovingly
challenging each other, lifting their shoulders and hips.

Then they clasp hands clasping arms in the back with the bodies together and without spilling
around, they lean back and forth zigzag and synchronized.

They separate, then he links her to the cowhide, pulls her with strength and tenderness
following the beat of the music and finally kidnaps her. The walaychu imposes his manhood
and the linlicha proudly submits to his man.
