From high in the Andes Mountains, across the plains of Patagonia and the rainless plateau of the Atacama desert to the shores of the Pacific Ocean, Tahino brings a different kind of Latin music. Geography, topography and history converge as students learn about the contributions of the Incas and the flourishing civilization they created before Europeans colonized the continent. Students and teachers will sample some of the native wind, percussion and string instruments, like the quena (a wind instrument made of bamboo tubes) and the charango (a very small guitar from Peru), that give South American music its unusual and distinctive sound.
Tahino
Tahino was founded in 1992 to teach children in Atlanta about the wonderful music and culture of Latin America.
Members Otto Rondon, Mario Luque, and Gustavo Arenas were born in Merida, Venezuela, Mexico City, Mexico, and Girardot, Colombia respectively, and offer a taste of Latin America as they take students on a musical journey featuring contemporary Latin music.
Tahino has been honored for their amazing performances with awards such as Certificate of Appreciation by Georgia State University, Cousins Middle School Certificate of Appreciation, and Salute of Tahino from Georgia Governor Harris and Senate Committee Chair Greene.
The trio will describe how African music, brought to Latin America by slaves, was interwoven with Spanish and French influences to create the complex rhythms of today.
