Chaski: Flute + harp + a world full of music. In a nod to their namesakes, those relay-running, message-delivering Andean chaskis, Chaski takes flute/harp repertoire on far-flung journeys: Bolivian huayños, Scottish strathspeys, Texas honky-tonk, and 17th century Playford dance tunes, to name a few. With live concerts, videos, and albums, Chaski voices an irresistibly eclectic musical style.
