Description
Red Poppy resident artists Quijeremá are a performing arts quartet that celebrates and expands the cultures of the Americas through original music, poetry and multi-media art installations. Members of the ensemble have performed worldwide and have appeared on national and international radio and television stations (playing a combined total of more than 30 instruments!).As music reviewer Willy Lizarraga writes, Quijeremá manages “to render a whole constellation of South American rhythms into a jazz idiom. … The cueca from Chile, tango from Argentina, waltz at its most Latin, landó from Peru, joropo from Venezuela, huaino from the Andes fuse into a musical continuum whose identity, no matter how jazzy, always remains rooted in the deep South, not of the U.S. but of the Americas.”
