H.I.P.S.T.E.R. Online Lecture Series: David Gutiérrez
The Recorder and Tin Whistle in Andean Traditional Music

The recorder and the tin whistle, both instruments coming from an European early music tradition, have found a place in Andean traditional music, one of the most ancestral forms of music still being played today. Since Colonial Music, we can find examples of the recorder being used in South America and the music of the Andes region, but the immersion of the tin whistle has been something new, in great way thanks to the global revival of Irish traditional music. Through this lecture I will not only show musical examples, but I will speak as well about the technical issues that confront both instruments when engaging Andean music and its diverse styles.
