JULYSUMMER PROGRAMAndean Textile Art & mamacha Carmen FestivityJuly 9 – 22, 2023 In the Sacred Valley of the Incas, the month of July stands-out due to the pompous celebration in honor to the Mamacha Carmen, which is taking place during five days. In total there are 21 teams of masked dancers, accompanied by musicians, who give homage to the “Mamacha”. Through their performance they stage mythologies and historical passages. In the cemetery the teams of dancers evoke their defunct members, thus commemorating and integrating the world of the dead and that of the ancestors. One can notice an indigenous and catholic syncretism, but also a parallel world full of mysticism and joy. This special program combines a unique cultural experience with intensive courses in Andean textile art.
ANDEAN MUSIC PROGRAMAymara – Quechua Musical TinkuJuly 10 – 23, 2022 Popular music, as well as original native music are the two areas that currently cohabitate in the Andes. Popular music is product of a syncretism of musical systems; that is between the Occidental and Andean music, while the original native Andean music and, especially, that played in traditional communities, has its roots in pre-Colombian times. The linguistic category called ‘tinku’, as much in Quechua, as in the Aymara language, is synonymous of meeting, encounter or convergence and, precisely in this program, we make the music of Puno and Bolivia´s Aymara region converge with that of Peru´s Quechua-speaking area.
