Rollano pinkillu.

The rollano pinkillu is played only during the dry season. It is associated with llama herders from the highlands who make seasonal journeys in winter to the valley to exchange highland products for those of the warmer valley regions, thereby enabling a rounded diet and the availability of products from a range of ecozones.
