FREE PERFORMANCE!!
Juan Cayrampoma and the Andean Scissors Dancers April 16 at 2pm Juan Cayrampoma from the Andean/Latin fusion group Raymi will join forces with traditional Andean Scissors Dancers in a concert that will transport you to the deepest highlands of Peru. Juan's music brings the haunting sounds and mystic power from the Andes to the rest of the Americas and the world, using traditional instruments such as zamponas, moscenos, quenas and tarkas. The Danza de las tijeras (scissors dance) is an original dance from one of the deepest highland regions of Peru. The scissors dance is an impressive manifestation of physical art and skill, but to the Andean man it represents a complex ritual. Together with musicians, the dancers perform a choreographed duel of step-dancing, acrobatics and increasingly demanding movements. Reservations strongly recommended! RSVP HERE |
