¥¥ SONIDOS DEL PERÚ ¥¥¥ MUSIC MASTERS OF AYACUCHO two portraits of two great masters of the guitar ayacuchena, the most renowned music style coming from the Peruvian Andes Manuelcha Prado is a living legend, based in Lima but traveling the world to display his unique touch and his shamanic voice Abilio Soto Yupanqui is a figure of Ayacucho, a writer famed for its jokes, a multi talented man who brings us along the city and various music performances ¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥ 33¥ MANUELCHA PRADO https://vimeo/91067837 https://petitesplanetes.bandcamp/…/sonidos-del-per-la-v… •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• 33 films. I wanted to make 33 films, it was a question of life and death. Its a mystical number after all. I arrived 3 months before in Perú, without any idea of what I would do. And after traveling all around the country, on my final day I had made 32 films. The last one missing was the most difficult to make happen. Manuelcha. But there we were, on the rooftop of a old bulding, in the center of Lima, him with his poncho, and guitar in his hand. Manuelcha Prado is a grand master. Maybe the greatest guitarist of South America for the past twenty years. But as almost any grand master who has been there for a while, people tend to forget. As soon as his fingers touches the guitar, the whole style of Ayacucho. his region of origins, comes to life. When he starts singing, his voice carries thousand of years of history. Reaching back in its quechua language the origin of something, in the relationship between human and nature. Manuelcha Prado embodies everything I love about peruvian culture - a unique sensitivity to the elements, a gentleman way to talk to the other, a refinement getting rare nowadays. And this little collection of music from Perú was finding its achievement through the voice of a master singing against the grey sky. Viva Manuelcha. Viva Perú! ¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥ 11¥ ABILIO SOTO YUPANQUI https://vimeo/93231232 https://petitesplanetes.bandcamp/…/sonidos-del-per-el-s… •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• A little man with a little guitar and a big smile. Abilio Soto Yupanqui is a local legend. A book seller, a poet, a joker, and one of the greatest musicians of the region. A region famed until now for the desastrous Shining Path campaign in the 80s, who killed thousands of people around. Heres a short film shot over one day around town with the maestro Abilio, from the mirador drinking chicha to the night with his Estudiantina, through some songs with his daughter and some others for the kids. How would you even notice that the region of Ayacucho had gone through hell, twenty years ago? Now its time for the specific guitar playing of Ayacucho to be famous worldwide - but Perú hasnt yet appeared on the world of music map. Next edition maybe. ¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥ ¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥ WATCH the entire SONIDOS DEL PERÚ collection vimeo/album/3050162 LISTEN petitesplanetes.bandcamp/ a 33 films and albums collection made by Vincent Moon all around the country, researching on local music from Iquitos to Arequipa, from Pucallpa to Chiclayo, from Huancayo to Lima and more.
