Panoramic Voices presents Folk Yeah with Invoke that includes two world premieres, Wari and Uma, both Andean folk settings in Aymara.

Commissioned by Panoramic Voices for its Folk Yeah! concert October, 21, 2023, Uma for SATB and string quartet with optional charango and sikus is written as a dance in the style of a Bolivian huayño. The text in the indigenous language of Aymara comes from the poem Uma written by Chilean poet Pedro Humire Loredo. In the high Andean plateau called the altiplano or puna, the scarcity of water calls on the local people to share the precious and essential resource. Humires poetry reassures us that there is enough uma (water) for all. The popular indigenous huayño dance predates the Spanish conquest. This choral setting celebrates cooperation and sharing of water with embellished instrumental sections and optional panpipes (sikus or zampoñas) played in hocket (trenzado) and charango. Occasional shouts (gritos) may add to the excitement.
