Today October 12th at 7pm EDT (6 pm in Peru), we will be premiering our new official music video "Huk Urpichatam Uywa Karqani" on YouTube, a song that was recovered from a Jaujino musician, Mr. Hurtado back in the late 19th century. This is also a premiere of our new musical arrangement of this important piece for Andean musical history, that speaks of the past and the present as it appears to have influenced world music classics -"El Condor Pasa" and the "Ollantay". The children and youth from the Kuyayky Children and Youth Orchestra and Choir from Jauja perform it here with soul and passion that showcase the resilience of our people and our culture. #DíaDeLosPueblosOriginarios #DayofIndigenousPeople #DiálogoIntercultural #CulturaViva #PatrimonioVivo #12deoctubre #historicallyinformedperformance
