These sounds concentrate on the voices and rhythms of Africa. Male African voices can be heard sweetly singing and chanting throughout this recording. In addition to marimbas, kalimbas, and additional percussion instruments, the music is a deliciously exotic flavour. The drumming, as you may image, is superb. The voices ring out joyfully, giving this already exciting music an uplifting aura of celebration.

Delight at the magic, colour and artistry of the Flower City Chinese Dragon as its magnificent body glides and weaves to the drums and vocal calls of its guardians. The Dragon's infamous character is acted out through a series of lively and loud sounds that are both intriguing and exciting.

I'm looking for Carlos Chalacan from Ecuador. He's playing with his group "Sacha Runa." I met him in Terneuzen. He was making music at a school, there was a party. I still have his chain/necklace (what's the right word) and his poster. He also sent me a postcard, written in Dutch.
Carlos I hope your will read this, can you please contact me?

Hi can you please let me know if Sacha Runa play at intimate weddings. We really enjoy the pan pipes and listen to them every time there in Galway. I would realy appreciate if somebody would get back to me and let me know the situation
Regards with fingers crossed
Veronica.
