Often mistaken for the European Pan-Flute, the Siku is one of the oldest instruments of Pre-Colombian South America. An embodiment of the South American Andes, it is living testimony to the endurance and ingenuity of indigenous culture. This 52 page instruction manual, designed for students who neither read nor write music, will guide you on the path to self-instruction. Graphic representations help you learn traditional melodies from Peru, Bolivia and Ecuador. Used in conjunction with the accompanying audio CD, you can learn how to play native Andean folk songs.
