UKUPACHA: Rituals & Rhythms —A Journey Through Time & Culture, performed by Afro—Andean Funk

This is a cross-media concert that fuses Afro-Andean traditional music, funk, electronic soundscapes, and cinematic visuals. The work draws inspiration from Ukupacha - the inner world of soul and memory in Andean cosmology. Starting with the imagery of water, the performance unfolds narrative threads of migration, resistance, identity, and rebirth. Featuring Quechua chants, Afro-Peruvian festival music, dreamlike visuals, and dynamic percussion, it weaves together traditional instruments and digital storytelling to create an immersive sensory ritual - one that pulses with cultural resilience and ancestral memory.
