🎶 Performances: Inkarayku (“because of the Incas”) is an energetic New York–based ensemble that blends the power of Quechua folk songs with the unique edge of its hometown. Led by founder Andres Jimenez, the group links the past, present, and future of Andean arts by blending Indigenous and global musical traditions.
