Inka Jam, Myths and Music from South America
A journey through South America with a Peruvian emphasis in songs, instrumental music and mythology with Luciana Proaño from Peru and accomplished musicians Rio Butler (USA), Tito Amaya (El Salvador), and JB Butler (USA). They combine traditional material with their own compositions in the style of different South American traditions. The instrumentation is diverse and combines acoustic and electric instruments but they can also perform totally unplugged.
Most band members are multi-instrumentalists and they include dances in beautiful traditional costumes. The instruments and costumes are displayed and explained. Short narratives of myths as well as historic and geographic context introduce some of the songs. Audience participation is encouraged with singing, clapping and movement. They might choose a lucky child to try out an instrument on stage and play along. The program can be tailored to the school’s needs, for example if requiring emphasis on a single country.
