souuos DFTHE ALTIPLANo
Enshrined in their name Awatinas is the concept at being custodians at their heritage. This these Bolivians mangage to convey with love and mystery. or all the South American bands to have visited Scotland, Awatinas transmit an immediate touching primitiveness within their exceedingly varied and well played music. On their last Edinburgh visit, halt the audience processed round the theatre led by pan-pipe and the deep rolling drums, the wankara and bombo de italaque.
The group gives a two-part concert, the lirst leaiuring the music, instruments and costume oi the Quechua Indians, southern valley dwellers, and the second part reveals their own, Aymara Indian culture in costume, music and dance. This is the
music oi the ‘altiplano’, the high plateau beneath the Andes, a desolate terrain where survive the descendants ol the ore-Spanish Inca civilisation which had expanded trom Peru to cover most oi central South America. The group also throw themselves into the easily enjoyed melodies ot the townships, where the old torms collided with the white man’s music to produce the tunctional tunes tor today’s holidays, lairs and weddings. And probablytrips ‘doon the watter'. . . Have you seen iilm ol the old Scottish built paddle steamerthat still plies back and iorth, 12,500tt above sea level on that stretch oi water behind them in the photo, Lake Titicaca? Awatinas are at Maytest (19th) and Edinburgh 24th.
