COURSES AND WORKSHOPS<\/h2>\n

Make cry\u2026 blow\u2026 are the indigenous expressions for what we call music, as this term does not exist in the Quechua and Aimara languages. Then, what is what we call music to them?<\/p>\n

In the indigenous concept, the fact of producing melodies and rhythms is related to the plants\u00b4 growth process, the dialog between the world of the living and that of the ancestors, as well as to cosmic movements. Therefore, \u201cmusic\u201d is part of nature and of their lives, as a means that unifies and interrelates.<\/p>\n
