Velasierra is a player of traditional Andean flutes who has
reinvented his main instrument the 'Kena' as modern improvising vehicle,
this has allowed him to develop a truly original musical language. With
influences ranging from African music to jazz, his compositions are a
rich mixture of largely unexplored Andean rhythms combined with
contemporary melodies and harmonies.
Aided by a talented group of
musicians equally at ease reading complex arrangements as they are at
exploring gutsy improvised music.
A fascinating mixture of Latin-American melodies, contemporary harmony
and Afro-Andean rhythms, underlined by clear concepts of Jazz
improvisation.
