This article investigates the development of a novel communal art form called pasacalle that is associated with the district of Villa El Salvador on the outskirts of Perú's coastal capital city, Lima. The main performers of pasacalle are youth of rural Andean descent whose parents migrated to the city seeking to improve their lives. They belong to a community that has always existed on the lower rungs of Limeño society in terms of socioeconomic status and political agency. The genre of pasacalle, driven by drum music of Afro-Brazilian origin, has become central to their expressive culture while serving as a vehicle for solidifying communal bonds and resisting marginalization. Este artículo investiga el surgimiento de un nuevo arte comunal llamado pasacalle, que se practica en el distrito de Villa El Salvador, Lima, Perú. Los artistas del pasacalle son, en su mayoría, adolescentes amerindios o mestizos, cuyos padres migraron de áreas rurales buscando un futuro promisorio para sus hijos. Estos artistas pertenecen a una comunidad marginal que ha sido siempre relegada a los niveles más bajos de poder sociopolítico y económico en Lima. El género de pasacalle, el cual se nutre especialmente de música percusiva derivada de la batucada afro-brasilera, se ha convertido en un medio vital por el cual los habitantes de Villa El Salvador no solo expresan sus formas culturales sino además refuerzan lazos comunales y enfrentan la marginación social
