COSMOS
Comunidad Sikuris Berlin is a group sikuri enthusiasts from various countries united by the idea of cultivating, preserving, and enriching the art of playing the Andean panflute sikus. Through this practice they highlight the concepts of reciprocity and exchange found in various expressions of Andean cultures that have endured and evolved over the centuries, representing a living and active form of cultural resistance. With migratory movements to urban areas, sikuri groups have experienced a resurgence that has spread to different parts of the world. Based in Berlin, they have come together through the experience of migration and this vital way of making music, inspired by a sense of community, love for pachamama, taking part in cultural and social events that strengthen the defense of human rights and harmonious coexistence on our planet.
This artist is part of the program curated by Los Thuthanaka. The duo, founded by siblings Chuquimamani-Condori and Joshua Chuquimia Crampton, has curated a program featuring artists who explore Indigenous Andean culture and translate it into contemporary experimental, electronic and psychedelic forms.
