The Band

Inka Jam's music includes originals from the band members and some traditional covers in a variety of styles with an Andean flare. Many of the pieces also include a dance performance in traditional costume. We play Huaynos, Cumbia, Salsa, Boleros, Trova and Afro-Peruvian. A lot of 6/8 and syncopated rhythms which usually draw the crowd to dance. Due to the novelty of certain rhythms we usually step out to teach the crowd some basic steps and then involve them in the dancing. Most of the songs have lyrics and we encourage audience participation in the choruses or the people might just sing along the whole song. Rather than a distant concert this is a trans-formative musical experience.
