Pachamama  World Music Band from San Francisco, CA

Welcome to Pachamama Carnaval, a colorful and configurable performance celebrating the vibrant music and dance of Latin America, now available for booking throughout the western United States. The Pachamama, or “Mother Earth” carnaval evolved out of the collaborative musical experiences of Bolivia's great composer and charangist Eddy Navia and Quentin Navia, founder of Sukay, along with renowned musical groups such as Fogo Na Roupa and Fito Reinoso. The carnaval has grown to its current roster comprising The Pachamama Latin Band, Pachamama Carnaval, and Sukay, music of the Andes. The bands are artistically directed and accompanied by Eddy Navia, beloved Bolivian composer and virtuoso of the Charango who was nominated for a Latin Grammy in 2012. Each of the groups are also available for individual performances and tours.
