Orale pues!

Being out of Guatemala, that instrument sounds different! I didn’t realize how deep inside my soul this kind of music was until now.

We had the good fortune to catch Las Alas Chapinas near Washington, DC, at last September’s Guatemalan Independence Day festival. Incredible to have flown those massive old wooden instruments all that way…they sounded great and had the crowd on their feet. Thanks for the post.
