| Notes | in the Bolivian village of Walata Grande, located in the Andean highlands near Lake Titicaca, nearly everyone is a musician. For thousands of years the Aymara people have crafted moceno, tarka and zampona flutes. Even today, they joyfully play them in their village celebrations. Watch Franciso Torres, Angelino Torres and Eugenio Quispe Hualpa demonstrate their creations. These talented artisans market their instruments through Q'antati, a Ten Thousand Villages fair trade partner. The income from their work pays to send children to school, for medical care and to build better housing. |
