Yaku & Kuntur: Concert of Traditional Andean Music, Thu 24th July, 7-10pm

Aho has the pleasure to announce a very special Concert with Yaku Amaru (Water Serpent) and Nina Kuntur (Fire Condor) and their son (Araq) who are Qheswa natives from Pisac - the Sacred Valley of the Inkas (Cusco - Peru) and coming to the Uk in July and bringing their Andean wisdom, music and medicines.
 
Yaku, Araq and Kuntur will show us the most authentic of their cultural expressions, covering many musical instruments, musical genres and instrumental formations from the Andean world, songs in Runasimi, Aymara (ancestral languages). In this way they will transport us to very ancient times and to the current native communities that with there music continue developing celebrations of the ancestral Andean calendar, which is actually the celebration of Life.
 
These ancient cultural expressions are part of the Andean worldview that, executed with propriety and love, radically respecting its entire original - ancestral structure, gives the opportunity to share with humanity “tools” built in thousands of years by our ancestors, these tools rich in values and principles guide us towards a life of complete harmony with our inner being and with everything around us. So this fact turns the “concert” into a ceremonial, and even medicinal experience.
 
By participating in these ceremonies, you will also financially support their family in Peru, and so that they can continue their mission of sharing medicine around the world, and for the socio-cultural work that they have been developing for more than 27 years in their land.
 
Gratitude, Blessings and Love!
