This workshop invites participants to engage with the history and music of Peruvian tradition and will include conversations about cross-cultural collaborations between musicians and the musicalization of traditional Afro-Andean musical instruments that have survived generations. The Peruvian traditional music workshop is followed by a performance by Afro-Andean Funk, a new band based in New York City and founded by musicians and producers Araceli Poma and Matt Geraghty. The band was just nominated for the 2022 Latin Grammy for their debut album, The Sacred Leaf.
