Micaela Chauque is a revered figure in traditional Andean music, known for her mastery of indigenous wind instruments such as the quena and the siku. A cultural ambassador of Argentina's northern provinces, particularly Jujuy, Chauque's music is a deep dive into the heart of South American ancestral roots, blending the rich sounds of the region with a contemporary sensibility that speaks to a wide audience.
Throughout her career, Chauque has committed to preserving and promoting the folkloric music of the Andean highlands. Her recent releases, such as "Corazón de Agua" and "Mi Cultura La Copla," showcase her virtuosity and her devotion to the traditional narratives and colors of Andean music, while "Instrumental de la Quebrada" reflects the stunning landscapes that inspire her work. Pieces like "Florcita de Cardón / Soy de la Puna / Demasiado Corazón / Hoy Estoy Aquí" and the album "Quenas y Sikus" are vivid compilations of instrumental expertise, encapsulating the spirit and pulse of her heritage. "Jallalla," a term of celebration and good wishes in the Aymara language, rounds out her recent oeuvre, symbolizing the joy and communal spirit that Chauque's music perpetuates in the rich tapestry of Latin American folk music.
