| The Andes of Bolivia, Chile, Ecuador and Peru, rising from the Pacific coast to heights exceeding 20,000 feet are rich with music. Even in ancient times, music was important in the mortal and immortal worlds of many native Andean people. Ameri-Kantú plays this classic music based on traditional instruments. You will hear the Pan-Flute (zampona), an Andean intrument that consists of two halves and made from bamboo It has its roots in the traditional music whose sentiments have graced mountain pastures, nourished ritual events and enriched royal courts for millennia. You will hear the chirrango from Bolivia, a tiny stringed guitar-like instrument made from an armadillo shell and listen as well to the sound of small goatskin drums and vocals sung in both Spanish and Quechua. Tune in for a special experience. Bio: David Sovero was born in 1971 in Lima, Peru. He graduated from the the Peruvian National Arts College where he attended from 1990 -1996. He has a strong academic foundation. During his career as an artist in Peru, Sovero participated in many different exhibitions, solo and in groups, and won many honors and awards. Since his arrival to the United States in December, 2001, he has taken part in many exhibitions in Chapel Hill, Carrboro, and other areas of North Carolina. Sovero is an artist who creates layers of rich color, offering us new forms, concepts, and elements of art, over many generations. David's Incan ancestral roots are saturated with thousands of years of Andean stylized figures. His everyday existence and relationships are intimately tied to his work. Shadowy, semi-abstract specters emerge from the darkness of his canvas. His surreal compositions and simplistic geometric forms are based on lines, textures, and many dimensions, giving freedom to his talent and creativity. |
