Lokandes

Fronted by whirlwind musical maestro Kanti Qena alongside the beautiful and talented Phaxsi Coca their band name is the combination of two words: ‘Crazy’ and ‘Andes’ which represents the intention of their music: Crazy music from the Andes. The project aims to create alternative music, taking the melodies and energy of Andean music and bringing it up to date; creating a fusion of traditional roots and Afro-Andean rhythms with other contemporary genres such as Reggae, Cumbia, Ska, Jazz, Son, Rumba Folk and funky Afro-Latin rhythms.

Closing the night joined by Specials guest on stage of Sonido Amazonico bringing the psychedelic Cumbia and Tropical sound .
