UC Riverside Department of Music presents:

Anaís Azul: "Simp'ashani: Canciones Trenzadas" (live)

Anaís Azul's debut album "Simp'ashani: Canciones Trenzadas" is a result of the research they conducted while on their Fulbright U.S. Student Scholarship, which gave them the opportunity to travel to Perú to study Charango and Quechua for 9 months. “Simp’ashani” began as a project compiling Andean music to create an album of multilingual (Quechua, Spanish, and English) reinterpretations of said songs using experimental production. Now, the album also includes field recordings, interviews, and original compositions about the journey Anaís has been on re-connecting to their Indigenous ancestry. In this live performance of the album, Anaís Azul will be featuring their dear friends iri.des (music production), Luis Ramirez (Sikus, Quena) and REN (Voice, percussion).
