Representing the magical mystery of both their ancient and contemporary cultures, the musical group is colourful and exotic in their presentation.

They will entertain visitors to the Fair with their irresistible music of their homeland on traditional instruments such as panpipes (zampona), flutes (quena), guitars, charango (10 stringed instrument), mandolin and drums.

The group will play an endless variety of lively uplifting rhythms, laughing and singing as they inspire their audiences with fun loving vitality.
