Instrument Making Workshop | "Sounds of the Americas: Introduction to the Ocarina"
Journey back in time through the Ocarina, a type of clay flute produced across Central and South America for thousands of years. The unique sounds and imaginative shapes of these instruments awaken memories of our common ancestry, recalling the songs of the birds and animals that inhabit our most sacred natural landscapes.
Ancient peoples of all times and latitudes have used an elaborate weave of myth, art, and music to communicate their world visions. In the Americas, we can connect with this heritage through a rich tradition of musical instruments whose forms, scales, and sounds give us a glimpse into the extraordinary cultures that created them.
