Marcelo Peña marveled to the Audience from Oruro with the sound
of hisquenas, in the concert with the Bolivian group Luz del Ande.
It was an special performance of an artist that has a variety of Quenas,
very well taken care and prepared by him,
to obtain the sounds but pleasant to the hearing.

"We adapt to the melodies that we execute, with the quenas
they change the tones, the colors, it is a contribution that we make,
so that way our music sounds better we try to offer variety to the public"

Africa (Mozambique) a very fine wood and Momoki of the Bolivian east
that has allmost the similar texture of the ebony.

that the practice and the feeling are important for the execution
of an instrument", he said.

"A quenista needs to be a very noble person with the instrument,
