Sikuri
(MIDI sample) as played by Inkuyo group (The Double-Headed Serpent, 1993) |
Sikuri is a musical style from Peru and Bolivia consisting of siku players and drum accompaniment. There are usually around twenty siku players. As each siku cannot play all the notes of a scale, the siku players use an interlocking technique to play the entire melody. The drums produce a fast, pounding beat in the rhythm of huayño.[1]

Sikuri is often performed at festivals by the Aymara-speaking peoples near Lake Titicaca.
