June 29 (Friday): Andean Flute Music in Greenport at 7pm
Flutist Walter Purizaca will be at the Floyd Memorial Library, 539 First Street in Greenport at 7 pm on Friday June 29.
The Floyd Memorial Library is proud to present an evening of haunting and beautiful music performed by an extraordinary musician who explains his passion below:
“You have probably seen us. Dark skin, long black hair, nostalgic stare and deep expression. We’re usually everywhere in the world, accompanied by our inseparable musical instruments: the winds; Quenas, Sikus or Zampoňas, Rondadores, the Antaras, pinkillos - made of cane, like bamboo: the percussion; Wankaras, Bombos, Rain Sticks, Chajchas – made of llama or sheep hooves, seeds and wool and the newer ones like charangos, mandolins, harps and guitars. We come originally from the eternal Andean region, descendants of the ancient Aymara civilization and the Inca empire.
The singularity of our music is
First: the message and kind of music that we play.
Second: the instruments on which we play it
Third: the manner in which we do it.
Andean music constitutes a very important part in our daily life, far from being a simple creation and human expression, it seems to be a kind of apprehension, interpretation and experience of a reality formed by emotions, illusions, hopes, frustrations, successes, passions, dreams, beliefs, etc. To define our music only by its sound waves or aural mark would seem too cheap. On the contrary, a ore precise conceptualization would make us define it as an energy that is produced and developed from the relationship between the human being and nature and that expands, retrieves and projects, transcending its reach in time and space inexorably and infinitely.”
Walter Purizaca
