Musical Personality and Function (including cultural context and relation to Nueva Canción)

What will be an ideal response?

• This is k'antu music, a type of ceremonial panpipe music from the altiplano (high plateau). This particular example is music of the Kallawaya people who live on the eastern slopes of the Bolivian Andes. The strong rhythmic character of the music is shaped by its dance function. The panpipes and their rhythmic melodies performed at different pitch levels in parallel fashion dominate the selection and give the music its unique sound.
• Performing Native-American music on traditional instruments extends the idea of New Song (Nueva Canción) to speak on behalf of some of the forgotten Indigenous cultures of Latin America.
