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..........."
