Performance Type:


Journey through Peru, Bolivia and Ecuador on a musical and cultural exploration guided by a bilingual speaker and accompanied by musicians born and raised in Otavalo, Ecuador.

This quartet invites students to participate by clapping out the rhythm of a sanjuanito, joining in a dance to celebrate the harvest, and trying traditional Andean percussion and wind instruments.
