8 Janiu Hualiquiti - Grupo Urubamba

The martial rhythm of the dance of the "Sikuris" originated in the southern highland plain known as the altiplano between Peru and Bolivia. It is danced in large groups, forming troupes who join together in large circles around musicians playing zampoña (pan-pipes) of varying sizes. The choreography of the dance is symbolic of the complementary nature and harmonious relationship that human integration should involve, as one group of flautists can only play half the notes, which means the other group is indispensable to complete the melody.

Om Podcasten

Music from the Andes. Out from the depths of endless valleys, out from the peaks and glaciers of untouched mountains, out from the greenest of rainforests... this is the landscape in which, since time immemorial, the music of the Andes has been forged throughout the course of history. It is a history of tragedy and triumph.
