Flautas de hueso Cultura Manteño-Huancavilca  (1100 – 1532 d.C ) 12×2 cm Cada sociedad tiene una forma distinta de pensar la trascendencia. El paso entre la vida, en tal sentido, puede pensarse como un proceso breve o lento, doloroso o paciente. Las sociedades precolombinas del territorio que ahora llamamos Ecuador tenían varias tradiciones funerarias que resultan fascinantes hoy en día: desde el enterramiento de personas con abundantes ajuares funerarios que resultaron en herencia arqueológica de las sociedades del presente hasta entierros secundarios que, de forma muy delicada, separaron ciertos huesos del cuerpo para ubicarlos en decoradas vasijas de barro. Es entonces que los rituales funerarios del pasado nos llevan a pensar en miles de posibilidades de interacción con la muerte. En muchos de estos momentos se ve involucrado el sonido como un elemento de contención y síntesis de las creencias. Las piezas del mes de Abril son un conjunto de flautas e...

Jesús Lara, en su " Poesía Quechua ", nos cuenta de haber escuchado la siguiente versión en los valles de Cochabamba y comprueba que es la misma que el doctor Ismael Vásquez ya contó : Un indio de Chayanta consiguió, allá por la mitad del siglo XVIII , estudiar en la villa imperial de Potosí, la carrera de sacerdote. Tras ejercer en numerosas parroquias de pueblos perdidos en la cordillera, se le premió, por sus aptitudes, con el ejercicio en la Iglesia Matriz, en Potosí. Estando atendido por una joven india se enamoró de ella con el tiempo. Pero un día, el idilio que vivía con esta india se vio interrumpido por la orden superior de viajar a Lima . En ausencia del cura, la muchacha fue repudiada y perseguida por la gente, hasta que un día se descubrió a la india muerta, se supone que de soledad y de añoranza del amante que tardaba en regresar. Al retorno del cura y al enterarse del hecho, se encerró en un silencio y una vida nocturna que culminaro...

Since the 1970s thousands of immigrants have come to Canada from Peru and all across Central and South America. Quite a number trace their roots back to indigenous (Aboriginal) cultures, some of them very ancient. This artifact is over 2000 years old ; it is a vessel (container) in the shape of a man playing the flute. It was made by an artist of the Moche culture on the north coast of Peru. The Moche culture flourished between the years 100 and 800, and is named after the Moche River valley where the culture was first identified. The culture is known for its skilled craftspeople and sumptuous tombs. Moche pottery was often modeled, and frequently depicted scenes from everyday life. Like other cultures in ancient Peru, musical instruments played an important role in ritual and everyday life. The Moche played flutes, conch shell trumpets, rattles, bells, and drums. The importance of music to shamanism remains strong in the north coast of Peru today.  This pot c...
