AMADO ESPINOZA

Musician from Cochabamba, Bolivia that is a newcomer to the Kansas City community. He is a unique performing artist that respects his folk traditions of the Andes Mountains, while creating compositions that are sincere to his musical-wanderlust personality. He specializes in the Bolivian charango, a small ten-stringed guitar, but he demonstrates mastery of over 40 instruments, including Latin, African and Arabic percussion, and native flutes from all over the world.

“Our spirit has lived and voyaged much more than our physical bodies. Because of this, one can have a certain affinity with different cultures. Music is a mirror of a culture - its geography and its landscapes. It is also the medium to transport the musician and the listener to lands that the spirit already recognizes. We traverse time and space together.”
