The Marinera is a dance descending from the “zamacueca” and “mozamala” dances. The writer, Abelardo Gamarra (1850-1924), known as the “Rogue Poet,” gave the traditional dance its name as a homage to the Peruvian navy for its heroic participation in the war with Chile.
The Marinera dance is typically danced by couples dressed in white. The man wears a large straw hat, and the woman dons a beautiful white, embroidered dress.
