On this edition of Free City Radio we hear from Andrea Alvarez Bermejo of Orquesta Experimental de Instrumentos Nativos (The Experimental Orchestra of Indigenous Instruments), a musical project based in La Paz, Bolivia. This initiative creates a contemporary context of engagement with Indigenous musical culture that connects histories of Indigenous instrumentation with contemporary struggles in the Americas for Indigenous cultural resilience.
Thank you to Daniel Áñez and Peter Burton for helping to facilitate this interview.
