Viva Quetzal

A sampling of all the diverse musical traditions that exist in the Americas — melodious rhythms with an exuberant, non-stop level of energy — Viva Quetzal's brand of music is more than eclectic or rhythmic; it's spiritual, it's all cultures existing as one.

Viva Quetzal's musicians play over 30 familiar and exotic instruments in order to create the unique musical textures and tonalities of the lands and cultures of the Americas. These instruments are the product of native aboriginal musical craft traditions and include the quena, zampoña, ocarina, charango, cuatro and cajón Peruano. —Courtesy Calabash Music
