Río Abierto Sikuri estilo Conima


#siku #conima #sikuris #aymara #Peru #Bolivia #musique #musica #titicaca

Estilo de interpretación muy melódico y suave del Siku (nombre aymara para un tipo particular de flauta de pan).
Cada flauta tiene sólo la mitad de las notas (una de dos) y para tocar toda la melodía es necesario asociarse con otro músico.

Luzmilla Carpio, cantante boliviana y ex embajadora de la república plurinacional de Bolivia en Francia, dice que esto te obliga a tocar con el vecino, aunque no te guste mucho. ;-)

Pero, como signo de los tiempos, en esta grabación un sólo músico tuvo que tocar todos los temas en la regrabación... Otra molestia de las políticas anti-COVID...

The Salt Desert of Uyuni

Located in western Bolivia are the famous salt flats, the Salar de Uyuni. These expansive flats have become quite a tourist destination over the years, both for their uniqueness and their beauty. You can't find any other place in the world that is quite like the Salar de Uyuni.

It is the world's largest salt flats, measuring in at more than 4,085 square miles. The area was not always made of salt, however. 40,000 years ago, there was a huge inland sea called Lake Minchin. As time wore on, the lake began to dry up. When it did, two lakes were left behind –Uru Uru Lake and Poopo Lake. In addition, there were two salt flats, the Salar de Coipasa and the much larger and far more famous Uyuni.
