JJAKTASIÑA IRANPI ARKANPI – Musical dialog technique
The sikureada; an ancestral technique confirmed by the archaeo-musicologists, as well as dated by chroniclers, is a peculiar way of musical interpretation which reflects the idiosyncrasy of the Andean people´s unity and collectiveness.

The deep call of the seashells and zampoñas (pan flutes) dialoguing between the world of the living and that of the ancestors, along with the sound of native drums submerged in the dance and totemic sensations wrapped in colorful traditional garments. We´ll experience another music making concept, another way of thinking and see the world… a magical experience; that is Sicuri.
