The Quechua community of Q’eros in the Andes of southeast Peru is renowned for traditional music, weaving, and spiritual rituals that many other Andean communities no longer practice. Through personal accounts, this documentary produced by Doctor Holly Wissler shows the annual cycle of Q’eros musical rituals, how Q’eros people use music to express grief and joy, and how an indigenous people adapt to urban society.
