On Sunday November 16, 2008 Viento Sur featured music of one of the greatest bolivian SIKU (pan-flute) players of the world, Carlos Ponce. We have also interviewed him live from La Paz-Bolivia.
Carlos Ponce was born in La Paz-Bolivia. At a very young age he showed passion for music and started to play the "siku" (Aymara language for pan-flute). By the age of 14 he was already recording with very well known bolivian bands an musicians. He is the pioneer of bolivian jazz, his skill in the execution of the bolivian sikus (bolivian-pan-flutes) has allowed him to participate in many Jazz festivals around the world.
