  3. Thanks for your web site.

    I'm trying to locate the discography of a group of about five or six musicians playing Andean folk music on the streets of Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA, in August of 1991. I know they had at least one CD (because I had it until I loaned it away). They called themselves "Markahausa" or something like that. Does anyone have any information on this group?

    Thank you very much.

  19. Music lessons inquiry

    To Whom it May Concern:

    Thank you for your very informative webpage! I am soon to graduate from the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor with my doctorate in Music Composition and Theory. I am also quite active as a concert pianist, and have made it a specialty of mine to play the music of South American composers in classical music, especially those who exhibit influences from Andean folk music. My interest stems from childhood as my mother is Peruvian born and we speak Spanish at home (but no Quechua). I would be very interested in finding out about the availability of lessons in Andean music on the many different instruments -- I have very advanced training and a rather active career already in music, but would love to seriously devote several years of my time in lessons to become proficient in Andean music. I am willing to relocate for a good teacher, and would be comfortable living in South America as I have traveled there rather extensively already. Can you help me or otherwise provide advice about how to find a teacher (or teachers)? Thank you for your help.

    Sincerely yours,
    Gabriela Lena Frank

    We would love to locate anything by Los Yojayas who we heard play in Cjeske Budjevice in the Czech Republic in 1995. We bought a tape of their music called 'Music aus Den Anden'. Unfortunately we only have the box left, as the tape was stolen from our car.

  29. Hi,
    I am getting married this May 25th 2002, and I'm currently planning the music to be played during my ceremony and cocktail hour.  My mother is Dominican and my father is Peruvian. To have live music from both cultures would be a dream come true. Does your band play special occasions?  If not, Do you know of anyone who can play live Peruvian music in Boston, MA?
    I can be reached at 617-926-3276 arlenin@mediaone.net

    Kullakita
    Juanito Pequeno
    Aguas Claras
    Cuando Florezca el Chuno
    Purimuy
    Llamar
    Vaso de Cerveza

    I am looking to buy a copy of this album on CD, and hope that you would be able to assist me in finding it.

    Many thanks in advance.

  42. Hi Folks,

    i bought a CD called "The Returning of the Time" about 10 years ago or so here in Germany. I am wondering if there are any other CDs of Pachakuti on the market. Actually I heared this CD this week for the first time (I never listened to it during the last 10 years) and the magic of this music hit me like a hammer. I really love it.

  51. Hello there,

    I wonder if you can help me out. I have two tapes from a group called Tumi. I remember they came here to New Zealand years ago wandering around the streets playing there music, selling these tapes as well as clothing. The tapes are named as follows:-

    1. TUMI From the Andes to the World RD262
    2. Tumi and Huanuy Mayta Traditional Andean Music RD246

    I want to know if these are obtainable on CD and wish to purchase them to play in my car, or if not can you put me onto somebody else that can help.

    Hope to hear from you soon.
