Sikuri is a musical style from Bolivia consisting of siku players and drum accompaniment. There are usually around twenty siku players. As each siku cannot play all the notes of a scale, the siku players use an interlocking technique to play the entire melody. The drums produce a fast, pounding beat in the rhythm of huayño.[1]
Sikuri is often performed at festivals by the Aymara-speaking peoples near Lake Titicaca.
