Sisai: Exploring the Andes Through Music

Journey through Peru, Bolivia and Ecuador on a musical and cultural exploration guided by musicians born and raised in Otavalo, Ecuador. Sisai proudly conveys their unique indigenous culture through song, legend and glimpses into Andean life. This quartet invites students to participate by clapping to the rhythm of a sanjuanito, joining in a dance to celebrate the harvest, and trying traditional Andean percussion and wind instruments, such as zampoñas.

Ancient flutes still echo through the Andes Mountains, and the heartfelt and joyful sounds easily resonate with children today, sparking imagination and transcending cultural borders. Performance can be adapted to specific age groups or areas of study. Presentation in English or Spanish by request.
