In Japan, Andean music is commonly associated with “folklore.” However, nowadays, this music born from the cultural interaction between the former Andean inhabitants and the Spanish goes well beyond the limits of folklore to integrate various experiments. Such a posture is clearly visible in the work of the Florez Duo, who, while respecting the traditional instrumentation and repertoire, experiment with new approaches and fusion with other genres. For this concert, by confronting the ancient Andean civilization unearthed in the special exhibition “Wandering in El Dorado: Half a Century of Andean Archaeology by the Japanese” with the Florez Duo’s new interpretation of Andean music, efforts will be made to pursue various aspects of the Andean sense of beauty running across its ancient fine arts and its contemporary musical experiments.
