According to my peruvian musician friends, the saxophone is highly regarded in peruvian music, and there is a lot of saxophones used in Peruvian popular music. Afro-peruvian music is particularly interesting with a lot of 6/8 grooves. I think your trip will be magnificent. Good luck!
Peruvian Flutes and Sopraninos --- Brothers in Arms?
Hi good people. I just found out that I may be going to Peru in late March, 2012. I take travel very seriously. I think I have food and alcohol covered. I assume local wines are similar to Chilian reds.
I will probably take the Vento sopranino with that insanely expensive mouthpiece and #3 bflat clarinet reeds. So now, dear scholars, how do I do prepare for this experience? I started downloading Peruvian music. It's good. So far so good.
I've always been attracted to that wooden flute sound and that aggressive percussion. A lot of people play together with layered music. Can I find New Orleans music making style somewhere here? Do Peruvians second line? Is there a brick and mortar place in Peru that is devoted to music of the ancient cultures? Are there people similar to gypsies in Spain who make music?
What do I do now, other than buying every glossy tourist DK book available and start saving for this damn trip?
