About Tito La Rosa:
Tito La Rosa is a descendent of Quechua Indians of the Peruvian Andes. For many years, he has been recovering and preserving, studying and intuiting the ancestral music of Peru. He is also a Curandero de Sonido, a sound healer, who enters into an altered state to bring forth sound that elevates, allowing for healing and balance to occur.
The ancient Andean wisdom teaches us that the Earth was made while the creator sang, therefore all beings are made of sound, rhythm and harmony. Through its concerts, flower ceremonies and music lessons, La Rosa helps awaken our memories (ancient memory), weaving sounds into frequencies that open the heart and encourage the spirit to fly. Titus makes, with his instruments and his divine breath, a bridge between the ancestral and the contemporary, between heaven and earth, matter and the divine.
La Rosa has recorded with Mary Youngblood on the Silver Wave record label. His 2002 CD, "The Prophecy of the Eagle and the Condor," was nominated for a Native American Music Award, for Best World Music Recording.
