We're celebrating Hispanic Heritage Month and everyone is welcome!
This music workshop is a lively, interactive performance where you will hear how pre-Columbian, European and African musical influences have blended together in different Latin American countries to become what each region can now claim as its own musical style. The Cuicani trio will perform and provide us with information about the socio-cultural context of songs as well as the display of unusual string, wind, and percussion instruments from Latin America.
About Cuicani:
The trio has been performing throughout Wisconsin since 1987. Cuicani’s repertoire brings you an example of the breath of the Andean repertoires. Cuicani combines the talents of three musicians who play a variety of instruments:
Raquel G. Paraíso (from Spain): trained as a classical musician, Raquel plays siku, mandolin, violin, and percussion.
Enrique Rueda (from Colombia) is both a talented musician and a sound sculpture artist. He plays quena, quenacho, and percussion.
Francisco López (from Mexico), the founding member of the group, plays guitar, charango, and percussion.
