Andean music

Almost all these ways of Aymara music and dance no longer exist today.
According to different archaeological findings, one of the ancient musical instruments has been the phunkhullu. It had an evolution in their making materials from the clay, bony materials, until at the present vegetable canes, specially the Andean bamboo ones(suqusa, siqusa) of the zone of the Yungas and low valleys.
The bamboo cane, allows the invention of siku (siqus) and the sikuri (siqus phusiri).
Between the descendants of phunkhullu are the pinkillos, chacallos, quena-quenas, moseños, lawa k'umus and tarqas.
After the Spanish guitar influence was invented the charango (khirkhinchu), in some place of the north of the Potosí.
