GABRIELA LENA FRANK'S LEYENDAS: AN ANDEAN WALKABOUT

Chiara String Quartet

Leyendas: An Andean Walkabout draws inspiration from the idea of mestizaje as envisioned by Peruvian writer José María Arguedas, where cultures can coexist without the subjugation of one by the other. As such, this piece mixes elements from the western classical and Andean folk music traditions.
