WAYANAY INKA
Our intention is to express through our song, not only the customs, ways of life, and images of the Andean culture, but also to reflect fully the people who inhabit these lands, sometimes full of pain and sorrow, yet always with their hearts full of hope. Experience has shown that the music of a people reflects their innermost being; and this is why we feel compelled to allow our songs, with their poetry, to become merged with our people's historical journey. |

D.R.U.M.
D.R.U.M. uniquely combines continental African and African Diasporic rhythms with a healthy dose of jazz, funk, R&B and Latin influences to create a rich, earthy (and immediately accessible) sound. They top off this musical gumbo with a full melodious sound, abundant pop hooks, smooth vocals and a colorful stage appearance. D.R.U.M. has consistently won public music polls in various categories since 1991 and also boasts a variety of published works. D.R.U.M. has appeared in concerts from Pori, Finland to Tartu, Estonia and toured the United States with the Bob Marley Festival annual tour since 1993. Once heard, you’ll begin to understand why they always leave audiences wanting more. |
