ANDES MANTA performs the vibrant music of the Andes on more than 35 traditional instruments. From the lyrical sounds of the quena, or Andean flute, to the haunting tone of the six-foot-long panpipe, Andean music is one of the few authentic prehistoric culture forms to survive the 500 years of European occupation of South America.

Many indigenous South Americans believe that it is the music that preserves the heart and soul of the ancient ones. Panpipe workshop available.

School/Community Shows are hour-long performances that connect students with curriculum standards. Tickets are $5 each and include an online study guide that provides tools for teachers to prepare students for the live performance experience.
