Quick Clip of Andean Performance Song

4 Musicians on stage, 8 instruments being played! The versatility of these performers is amazing. Not only in an instance like this, but also in the aspect of any Andean musician. The idea of having a performance composition for public consumption is wonderful and mysterious to me at the same time. I can understand the need on scaling down a bit, as it may be a real challenge to have an entire town on a stage. But truly, a society that uses music as one of it's fundamental adhesives is a beautiful thing. I'd like to think the world would get more done if we could all just jam out. The idea that one learns while participating with their entire community is exhilarating. It has to give an amazing sense of solidarity and heritage. To keep a beat or play a piece makes you a member of your community, and as a member you speak the language of your elders.
