From the shores of Lake Titicaca 12,000 feet above sea level to the lush valleys of Cochabamba and Tarija instruments and styles of music range from the monotonous pentatonic incantation played by a group of sicuris (panpiper...

“La música nativa de Bolivia es tan variada como el paisaje de ese país fascinante. Desde las orillas del lago Titicaca 3.810 metros sobre el nivel del mar hasta los verdes valles de Cochabamba y Tarija, los instrumentos y los estilos musicales abarcan desde la monótona entonación pentatónica tocada por un grupo de sicuris (tocadores de zampoña) en Tarabuco hasta la vigorosa tonada rasgueada en un charango en un pequeño mercado del pueblo de Tarata...”

Rabinal Achi is one of the few pre-Columbian literary works to survive the Conquest, a tragic story of epic proportions that, like other pre-Hispanic dramas, employed song, dance, mime, masks and declamation.
Baile de las Canastas (Dance of the Baskets) celebrates the change from a semi-nomadic hunters’ society to an agricultural civilization. Today it is performed as a series of set scenes using masks, dance, music, dialogue, and mime. The performance takes its name from the tall baskets worn by the dancers.
Producido y grabado por Henrietta Yurchenco. El Rabinal Achi es uno de los pocos textos literarios precolombinos que sobrevivió a la Conquista, una historia de proporciones épicas que, como otros dramas prehispánicos, emplea canciones, danza, mímica, máscaras y declamación.
El baile de las canastas, por su parte, celebra el cambio de una sociedad de cazadores seminómadas a una civilización basada en la agricultura. Está compuesto por una serie de escenas que emplean máscaras, música, danza, y diálogos. El baile toma su nombre de las canastas que usan en la cabeza los participantes.
