Main Article Content

Abstract

The version of the war between the incas and the chancas of the andean  chronicler Joan de Santa Sruz Pachacuti Yamqui salcamaygua has been traditionally considered as an historical source. This article aims  to analyze his historical recount  in the light of symbolic elements  —some of them as peculiar as musical instruments— that rather than contextualize the event as a real episode, show it as a foundational myth.
