LOKANDES

2:15PM

Lokandes is a band we have long wanted to invite to LatinoLife in the Park: ´Crazy´ and ´Andes´ (Crazy music from the Andes) is how they describe themselves - fusing the melodies and energy of Andean music with traditional roots and Afro-Andean rhythms with other contemporary genres such as Reggae, Cumbia, Ska, Jazz, Son, Rumba Folk and funky Latin rhythms. But the name doesn’t reveal the true wonder of the band which is the musical maestro that is Kanti Qena, whose improvising skills on the Andean pipes are the envy of jazz musicians and delight of audiences around Europe.
