LA MARINERA  itself is the expression of the soul. From the moment it's a couple's dance, it's a love story. It is a constant flirtation between a man and a woman, both trying to seduce each other.

The first marinera composed to be sung with piano accompaniment was created in 1892 under the name of "La concheperla" whose lyrics are authored by Abelardo Gamarra "El tunante" and the musical score belongs to Rosa Mercedes Ayarza
