Caliche play instruments such as panpipes, flutes, charangos and mandolins which evoke the magic of the truley breath taking Altiplano scenery,cradle of the Inca civilization. The wind instruments of the South American cultures, the strings of the Spaniards and the rhythms of the coastal black communities have combined to produce one of the world's richest folk traditions.
The group have performed at major festivals such as Womad, the Three Choirs Festival, Cheltenham and Billingham, as well as major events in Denmark, Portugal, Cyprus and Italy. Caliche regularly appear at art centres and theatres throughout Britain and have recorded for both television and radio, especially in the field of education.
Caliche do more than just perform their vibrant music, as audiences are invited to familiarise themselves with an impressive collection of Andean instruments,the origins of which are explained during performances.
