Efforts are underway to document and preserve the Pandilla Puneña, a musical and choreographic tradition recognized as Peru’s National Cultural Heritage. During the II National Congress in Juliaca, researchers and musicians addressed the need for better scientific research and systematized records to safeguard the dance’s evolution.

Officials have expressed concerns regarding the potential loss of traditional essence due to the incorporation of electronic elements and changes in attire. Experts emphasize the importance of teaching the history and meaning of the tradition to new generations to ensure its continued preservation.
