The sounds of Peru at Disney's Animal Kingdom

I stumbled across a group of musicians at Disney's Animal Kingdom recently that I hadn't seen before: Inkas Wasi. The members hail from South America and put on an entertaining show.

The group plays off the musical heritage of Peru's indiginous Inkas (or as we spell it in the U.S., Incas) and demonstrate their prowess on a variety of drums, flutes and pipes, along with stringed instruments.

Some of the slower numbers are beautifully haunting, and the uptempo numbers are exhilarating.

When I saw them, there was also a lively dance segment with two of the members, a festively costumed man and woman, who also posed for photos with children and talked to guests about their culture.

Inkas Wasi sounds great and adds a neat touch of diversity to Disney's entertainment lineup. Catch their songs throughout the afternoon at the park. I saw them at the main entrance plaza, and I am told they also perform at Discovery Island (the section of the park around the Tree of Life.)
