 ÌýÌýListen (1'09) to 'Kantus', performed on panpipes by Michel Cereso.
ÌýÌýListen (1'47) to Michel talk about his music.
A favourite song:
 My favourite music is from my country. It's called Kantus - a pipe and percussion rhythm used by medicine-men or natural healers in the north of Bolivia. 24 musicians play pipes and percussion and dance in a circle - the healer in the middle of the circle uses the energy we generate for his required purpose. Basically you could call it music therapy, which is very, very old in my country. It's not too fast, it has a kind of slow tempo and if you heard it you'd realise why it is music therapy.
Kantus is my favourite music because I grew up with it. When I hear it it's like my spirit returns to my land. My spirit gets together with my ancestors, with the spirits of nature - which for us are gods, and I feel at one with nature.
