Agua Clara is an instrumental group that specializes in music from the Andes Mountain region of South America. With most of its members from Peru, Ecuador, and Chile, this New York based quintet adopts a more progressive and lively approach to the Andean folk music, which results in a dancy, energetic and infectious energy. This unique sound of Agua Clara stems from its ability to give the traditional folk music a modern twist while still utilizing instruments indigenous to the Andean region, like pan flutes, quenas (a particular bamboo flute), and the “charango” (the South American version of a mandolin). Led by Ecuadorian guitar player Angel Marin, Agua Clara has been together for more than 15 years. During this time, it has made thousands of appearances all around The United States, and has recorded 10 CDs which, together, have left the unique sound of Agua Clara, into enthusiastic fans during performances
