AKAWUI

“Les Révélations” Series featured by Atuvu.ca

Original and powerful—as much for the unconventional mix of sounds as for the lyrics that speak for the oppressed and draw from the wisdom of the elders—the music of Akawui, singer, songwriter, percussionist and Mapuche flute player Akawui brings a whole new dimension to traditional Andean rhythms by incorporating those of other North American indigenous peoples, while integrating rap, electro, pop and Latin American influences. The magic of the flute, drums and ancestral songs like you’ve never heard before, combined with rumba, reggaeton, salsa, Afro-Brazilian and hip-hop giving it a truly global feel.
