Lokandes
https://myspace.com/lokandesproject
Lokandes are fronted by whirldwind musical maestro Kanti Qena and related their name to the combination of two words: ´Crazy´ and ´Andes´ which represents the intention of their music: Crazy music from the Andes. The project aims to create alternative music, taking the melodies and energy of Andean music and bringing it up to date; creating a fusion of traditional roots and Afro-Andean rhythms with other contemporary genres such as Reggae, Cumbia, Ska, Jazz, Son, Rumba Folk and funky Latin rhythms.
They unite musicians and instruments from Peru, (KIFER SANTANDER ) Bolivia, (JEANETE PHAXSY COCA ) Spain,(AYOSE DE ALEJANDRO) Panama (RUBEN RAMOS MEDINA ) Chile (YURI BETANCOURT )
Colombia (CARLOS NINIO) Cuba and the UK, and set their highly original music, alongside socially conscious lyrics and a super-tight rhythm section bringing awareness to Latin-American and worlwide cultures with their music.
