From the Dean’s Desk »
Bridging the native music of Ecuador and the Andes Mountains to North America, the four men of Andes Manta each specialize in tons of traditional instruments, such as those that look like panflutes, guitar, mandolin, and an endless lineup of percussion. Bringing the traditional sounds to life in a modern context that seems to share characteristics with Caribbean and Brazilian music, the group is at once a cultural lesson and a testament to how small the world really is.
Professional bio
With a mastery of more than 35 traditional instruments, including a dazzling array of panpipes, the four Lopez brothers from the mountains of Ecuador bring vibrant, haunting indigenous music from South America’s Andes Mountains.
