TRADITIONAL - ANDEAN MUSIC
Music is an indispensable part of festivities and celebrations for the Andeans, as it is much more than just entertainment. It is a fundamental component of their cohabitation with Nature and the Cosmos. Every instrument and kind of music has its reason to be, as well as its moment and place of execution, thus showing a marked difference between the Occidental way of musical conception and execution and music engendered by a ritual act.
CONTEMPORANEOUS ANDEAN MUSIC
The different historical circumstances the Andean regions have gone through, along with the multi-ethnicity, complex multi-cultural context and the evermore globalized and industrialized world´s present phenomena, produced a rich and varied contemporaneous Andean music. Therefore, we see the coexistence of musical elements that range from classic and pop, to jazz and new age, along with the Andean style.
Our Andean music courses and seminaries will develop around these themes, turning your visit into and interesting, entertaining and unforgettable live experience. We will interpret the most beautiful melodies from the popular repertory, from Ecuador to Chile and Argentina. A San Juanito that will take you to the Otavalo’s native territory, a Llamadera that will make you evoke the llamas, alpacas and vicuñas´ kingdom, the Huayno that will introduce you to the sumptuous Peruvian feasts and celebrations, Sikureadas that will transport you to the ancestor´s world, urban grooves with funk and pop influences or perhaps could we imagine a touch of Andean new age?... in the end, in our Andean music sessions you will be able to choose the styles of your preference.
We use methodologies based on the universal musical notation system, but, we also have a very practical and simple pre-pentagramic numbered notation system, for those who prefer not to use the academic notation.Our Andean music programs can be adapted according to your level and skills.
