Traditional Folk – Cusco, Peru
Wiñay Taki Ayllu means ancient, sacred music community.
Wiñay Taki Ayllu practices the most authentic expression of our traditional Andean music and dance, reflecting the cultural heritage of our ancestors in collective form and in synchrony with ancestral cosmic calendars. With musical instruments and instrumental ensembles of the Andean world, always keeping with due respect and humility, and specific instruments of each Andean season, we represent each region of the Andes.
We understand that Andean music is a totally different concept of music and unfortunately in the dominant society, especially in their schools their second view does not work with our music. In our indigenous music all living nature partakes of a harmonious reflection of the natural order of the universe.
Wiñay Taki Ayllu does not only makes music, but also researches, practices, disseminates and promotes the values and principles of the ancient Andean culture. For them, the Indian is a category of dignity. To be Indian is to respect and care for all living things on earth.
