jamming with the quechua

Early Sunday morning we were able to go to Radio Mosoj Chaski, where we have been photographing different aspects of their ministry. Sunday morning is a special morning for the radio because musical groups from the countryside and city make their way to the studio to play live on the radio. We woke up on Sunday morning to pouring rain, which meant probably no groups traveling to the station, because they don’t want to get their instruments wet. But after a quick phone call, we found out there were two groups waiting for us! So we hurried down just in time to photograph them.


The group Teresa photographed had a baby on the back of the woman. When they were almost done with their last song the baby started screaming! It was quite humourous to those of us outside the studio, but T said with all the instruments and singing they could hardly hear it from inside the room.
