But once I saw the concert I immediately fell in love. One of my friends invited me to go see a concert and I was very skeptical to go. "Back in Bolivia at that time there was a music revolution. “Back when I was 14 is when I got introduced to the Andean music." Edgar said. Bolivia-born Edgar Zurita plays the pan flutes in the group. The original three members met as students at Brigham Young University, but their introduction to Andean folk music started in their home countries of Bolivia, Peru and Chile. “Me and my family are from Peru," Nataly said, "and so hearing Los Hermanos de los Andes come makes my day because this is what my family listens to and it just reminds me of my family back home.”įor the members of Los Hermanos de los Andes, which translates to ‘The Brothers of the Andes’, their love of Andean folk music is what first brought them together 30 years ago. We sit on sofas in the cultural center’s space in the campus library, amidst a flurry of other students getting ready for the cookout fundraiser for the center later that day. Nataly Baquerizo, the social media assistant for the Latinx Cultural Center at USU, chats with me about the connection she shares to the music. Los Hermanos de los Andes is an Andean folk group based in Utah whose members share their knowledge of ancient Incan instruments and their deep connection to the Andean music. Many students stop to listen, take video and chat with members of the Latinx Cultural Center. The sound of the ancient pan flute draws listeners in as Los Hermanos de los Andes plays on the Utah State University campus.
