Pachamama is usually translated as "Mother Earth" but a more literal translation would be "Mother Universe"
Using voices, strings, wind and percussion instruments, the Pachamama Band combines harmonies and rhythms from different Latin American musical traditions - from Chilean Cueca to Colombian Cumbia to Peruvian Huayno - to create its own unique sound. The Pachamama Band incorporates a wide variety of instruments- including modern instruments such as guitar, violin, flute and accordion, as well as more traditional instruments: panpipes, quena, Andean charango, and bombo drums.
