Now, the album also includes field recordings, interviews, and original compositions about the journey Anaís has been on re-connecting to their Indigenous ancestry. In this lecture-recital of album excerpts, Anaís Azul will be featuring their friends and musical collaborators visiting from Perú: Luis Ramirez (Sikus, Quena) and REN (Voice, percussion).</b></div></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align:center"><br></div><div dir="ltr">Spread the word to your students and friends; Bayz series events are free and open to the public.
