Quicha Mashis is the culmination of ten years of dedication and determination. The members are Quicha Indians from northern Ecuador. The music they share has been passed down through the generations from the Grandfathers.
Many of the instruments are handmade in traditional ways with native materials such as: bamboo, sheep hooves, goat skins and armadillo shells. If the instruments are not captivating enough their sound will surely entrance you. One other thing about Quicha Mashis is there ability to captivate an audience with their superb musical ability without the use of loud volume.
I have personally seen crowds at fairs drawn by their music stay until they quit playing. They are one of the most sought after groups in the North West, once you have seen them perform you'll understand why.
