Recreations of the popular 1930s radio program "La Hora del Charango", including recordings from the period and recordings of period music by contemporary Cusco musicians.

"La Hora del Charango" was a very popular Cusco radio program in the 1930s where many different kinds of local music were played. QOSQO LLIKA has recreated "La Hora del Charango" in five 15 minute radio programs, each focusing on a particular instrument or style of Cusco music from the 1930s. These programs include recordings from the period as well as original recordings of 1930s music by contemporary Cusco musicians played especially for QOSQO LLIKA. As well, each program includes texts written by Cusco poets that link all the songs together into a tender love story. These radio programs were played throughout Cusco in public places during the live installation. As well, the QOSQO LLIKA music CD was distributed free at QOSQO LLIKA's LIVE MUSIC concerts. This is a unique collection of Cusco music that we encourage you download for free and enjoy wherever you are. For the website version of this musical element of the documentary, we have created slideshows of musicians, past and present, who are heard on the CD.
