CULTURAL IMMERSION
TRADITIONAL - ANDEAN MUSIC
Music is an indispensable part of festivities and celebrations for the Andeans,
as it is much more than just entertainment. It is a fundamental component of
their cohabitation with Nature and the Cosmos. Every instrument and kind of
music has its reason to be, as well as its moment and place of execution, thus showing a marked difference
between the Occidental way of musical conception and execution and music
engendered by a ritual act.

CONTEMPORANEOUS ANDEAN MUSIC
cultural immersion:The
different historical circumstances the Andean regions have gone through, along
with the multi-ethnicity, complex multi-cultural context and the evermore
globalized and industrialized world´s present phenomena, produced a rich and varied
contemporaneous Andean music. Therefore, we see the coexistence of musical
elements that range from classic and pop, to jazz and new age, along with the
Andean style. Cultural immersion
Our Andean music courses and seminaries will develop around these themes,
turning your visit into and interesting, entertaining and unforgettable live
experience. We will interpret the most beautiful melodies from the popular
repertory, from Ecuador to Chile and Argentina. A san juanito that
will take you to the Otavalo’s native territory, a llamadera that will
make you evoke the llamas, alpacas and vicuñas´ kingdom,the huiayno that will introduce you to the sumptuous
Peruvian feasts and celebrations, sikureadas that will transport you
to the ancestor´s world, with funk and pop influences or perhaps could we
imagine a touch of Andean new age?... in the end, in our Andean music sessions
you will be able to choose the styles of your preference.cultural

We use methodologies based on the universal musical notation system, but, we
also have a very practical and simple pre-pentagramic numbered notation system,
for those who prefer not to use the academic notation.Our Andean music programs
can be adapted according to your level and skills.
