peruvian music instruments

Inspired by the Inca pottery found on the Pisac archaeological site in Peru, Dionisio Quilla designs a beautiful blue ocarina with a llama motif and geometric patterns. This ancient wind instrument has a melodic sound most music aficionados appreciate and love. The handmade ocarina comes with a cord so you can wear it around the neck or carry it anywhere.

Artisan Dionisio Quilla often depicts traditional motifs in his works as a homage to his beloved country. This time, he handcrafts a gorgeous ceramic ocarina embellished with an Andean multicolor pattern over an orange color. This lovely ocarina is perfect for adding a musical touch and bringing a little piece of Peruvian culture to your interiors.

Painted by artist Julio Cuyro Ccahua in Peru, this delightful original painting depicts Andean musicians with traditional instruments. Heads thrown back, they play with joy and abandon. The artist works in watercolors on paper to create the painting.

These delightful ornaments are the creation of Peru's Margarita and Martha. Depicting a band of holiday musicians playing Christmas carols under a bright star, the two ornaments are crafted of cardboard, acrylic fabric, and wire. Each tiny musician is clad in traditional Andean dress and holds a musical instrument.

Talented artist Teofilo Choquecahua uses a pedal loom to create this beautiful tapestry from dyed alpaca wool. It represents the meaning of the Andean rhythm by depicting a scene where different ancestral instruments are used to transmit the pride and admiration for Peru. It is titled "Ritmo Andino" in Spanish.

This handcrafted wall mirror by Alejandro Chavez is a one-of-a-kind masterpiece that seamlessly blends the artistic traditions of Ayacucho, Peru, with contemporary decorative elements. Its wooden frame, meticulously hand-carved and painted, bursts with vibrant colors and delicate floral designs that elegantly frame the central composition. At its heart lies the mirror itself, radiating light and adding visual depth while reflecting not only its surroundings but also the profound cultural and spiritual connection of the Andean people to their heritage. Surrounding the mirror, intricately hand-molded and painted ceramic figurines bring to life everyday and festive scenes from rural Andean life: farmers working the land, musicians playing traditional instruments and dancers dressed in vivid regional attire. Adding further dimension, the piece prominently features a nativity scene and a depiction of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden, each rendered with exquisite detail and reverence.
