FRACTAL's
music is well known, since 1997, for the use of instruments from different cultures
and world ethnies, having strong rhythmical patterns through the use of African,
Hindu, Turkish, Maya and Mapuche percussions, as well as wind instruments from
opposing different places such as Indonesia's Suling Gambuh, Armenia's Duduk,
Turkey's Ney, the Peruvian Pincuyo or the altiplanic Quena and Quenacho, the
Chinese violin erhu, and the Guatemalan marimba.
This amazing
display of different sounds, the sight of all these different instruments, the
written work handed to he audiences at each concert (which literary work regarding
South American and African cosmogony), the photographic research projected at
each concert, and the of influence from music from all over the world blend
together with the South American perspective, always produce a great reaction
to every audience to which Fractal has performed.
