Chaskinakuy
Saturday, February 14, 2009

Explorers and interpreters of traditional musics from South America’s high mountains, Andean music specialists Edmond Badoux and Francy Vidal form the duo Chaskinakuy. Pronounced “Chas-kee-NA-kwee,” the name translates from the Quechua as, “to give and receive, from hand to hand, among many.” Traversing musical territory from Ecuador to Argentina on an extraordinary collection of regional wind, string and percussion instruments, Chaskinakuy’s performances offer a refreshing aural and visual experience. Pipes of feather, flutes of bone, a trumpet ten feet long, and a harp played upside down evoke the sounds and images of high plateaus and rural celebrations in Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia, northern Chile and Argentina.

Be sure to see and hear the unique and interesting assortment of instruments this very popular returning duo brings to our stage for your delight.

Concert time is 8:00 p.m. at the Fortuna Monday Club, 610 Main Street in Fortuna. Ticket prices are $8.00 General Admission and $6.00 Students and Seniors.
