Artist: Musuhallpa

Music from the Andes is an exciting treat for those who delight in learning about other traditions through music. The musicians of Musuhallpa perform a variety of beautiful songs and melodies played on wind, string and percussion instruments from the Andean Mountain region of Peru, Bolivia and Ecuador. Students will identify the music of Central and South American cultures and recognize how music has been used by the Andean people to convey their history. Students will also learn about the customs, costumes and daily life of people in the Andes. Musuhallpa means “beautiful land” in Quechua, the traditional language of the Andes region in South America, the homeland of many of the ensemble members.

"They were amazing musicians and related well to the students."
– Heidi Morrissey, Ligonier Valley Middle School
