Pachamama is usually translated as "Mother Earth" but a more literal translation would be "Mother Universe" Using voices, strings, wind and percussion instruments, the Pachamama Band combines harmonies and rhythms from different Latin American musical traditions - from Chilean Cueca to Colombian Cumbia to Peruvian Huayno - to create its own unique sound. The Pachamama Band incorporates a wide variety of instruments- including modern instruments such as guitar, violin, flute and accordion, as well as more traditional instruments: panpipes, quena, Andean charango, and bombo drums. The group has performed at many schools, community events, and venues in the Twin Cities including the Walker Art Center, the Minnneapolis Mosaic Kick-Off Celebration, the Minneapolis Institute of Arts Family Day, Macalester College, the University of Minnesota, and the Resource Center for the Americas.
