Jose Vitancio

I am a researcher, musician, replicator of pre-Hispanic musical instruments and CEO of this company. For more than 20 years I have been searching for perfection in my research to create musical instruments inspired by ancient pre-Columbian cultures and the four elements of nature (earth, water, air, fire).

Research and artistic experimentation

We identify archaeological sound objects and then replicate and experiment with their sounds, respecting ancestral techniques and knowledge, in order to revalue Andean culture and art and to transmit the mysticism of ancestral melodies.

Handmade with ancestral techniques

Each musical object is made with passion and dedication, using natural elements such as clay, stones, wood, seeds and paints based on oxides and slips. We also use handmade kilns for firing.
