Die Tuaillu-Musik

26.11.2018 / 18:00
With Carlos Gutiérrez

and Tatiana López

Lecture about indigenous music

Musicians and sound researchers Tatiana López and Carlos Gutiérrez belong in Bolivia to the Orquesta Experimental de Instrumentos Nativos (OEIN), which examines and explores indigenous and contemporary sound concepts.
In their lecture at the Ibero-American Institute they will talk about their research on Tuaillu music, a traditional music form that was at one time deeply rooted in the cultural practices of the indigenous communities of northern La Paz but has rarely been played for almost fifty years. Their research led López and Gutiérrez to the indigenous village community of Upinhuaya and to various archives in search of sound archives and transcriptions. Using traditional wind instruments such as the Siku and the Tarka, they introduce the concepts and approaches of indigenous music in Bolivia and demonstrate their approaches to recreating the sounds of Tuaillu music.
