INDIGENA PROJECTS
The SOUND  of the instruments resonate within each person who experiences it, 
regardless of age,
background,
context,
culture,
ethnicity,
or
​financial status
in
cathedrals, 
concert halls, 
classrooms
with danzantes, 
indoors,
libraries, 
on mountain tops,
outdoors,
by river sides, 
universities,
as a featured soloist, 
or with a chamber group
​or symphonic orchestra
​or as a lecturer

The  SOUND calls everyone and brings us together,
if only for a few moments, 
and then, 
the moments gone
but never from our EXPERIENCE.................

Always a BLESSING to be invited either as a composer, performer 
or collaborator with  indigenous instruments of Mexico, Meso America
or any of my other instruments 


THANK YOU FOR MAKING THE TIME TO VISIT
​Christopher Garcia

"I am playing my huehuetl, 
I who hunt for songs to awaken and fire our friends
whose hearts lie listless, 
for whom the day does not yet break-
those who sleep in comas, 
those who glory in gloomy night when 
the flowering dawn already sings her song
and when once again morn lightens the place where 
huehuetls play..........."

​XOPAN CUICATL
