"Los Chaskis" de Utah

The music, well exciting and uplifting, was perfect for our formal event and was never overbearing.

Although some members of the group rotate show to show, “Los Chaskis” performed with a three-man ensemble the night of our event. Each member masterfully plays a variety of instruments and knows a large repertoire of music. Traditional songs from Venezuela, Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia, and Chile were performed with hints of each country’s influence permeating into each song. Instruments included the Charango (a small lute-like guitar played by Mario Gonzales from Bolivia), Peruvian Pan-flutes (played by Edwin Román from Peru), a Venezuelan harp (played skillfully by group member Eligio Garcia from Venezuela), guitars and assorted percussion.

The Ascend Alliance was honored to have this amazing group perform for our annual Partner Appreciation dinner, and we were so surprised by their skill and professionalism that we decided to write this review on their performance and establish an ongoing partnership for future events. We highly recommend “Los Chaskis” for formal or informal events, and for people who are just looking to have great music at their event regardless of whether or not they are looking specifically for Andean music. You will surely not be disappointed!
