| "Arawi" (Aymara for song and musical creation) was founded in 1985 and is dedicated to musical options that exist in both traditional styles and classical forms of Bolivian music.
The majority of the musicians who study at the Workshop are adolescents and young adults from low income sectors in the barrios of La Paz. The traditional folk music of the Andes, also referred to as 'musica ancestral' (ancestral music), with its wide array of musical instruments, forms the backbone of the educational curriculum, to which are added techniques and approaches applied to contemporary music as an aesthetic alternative. In this way Arawi attempts to address the temporal and spatial concept of returning to origins and of creating a language for an emerging culture. |
