INKA GOLD

Our Music Is Th Bridge Between Cultures

Hundreds of years ago, the ancient Incan people began an elaborate musical tradition which mimicked the roaring winds and sounds of the great Andes Mountains. Thy created instruments from raw bamboo and clay to convey the sounds and heartfelt sentiments of the Incan people. Today in this new millennium, Inka Gold continues the sound and tradition created by their ancestors centuries ago. Thy perform the traditional music of their grandfathers, and use those traditional instruments to create and perform contemporary pieces. Inka Gold has been touring the United States since 1998.
