Wayra means The Wind in Quechua, one of the traditional native languages of the Incan culture. The exotic sounds of traditional Incan music can be dated back as many as five hundred years, representing one of the most well preserved forms of Native American culture. As a solo artist, Wayra is the consumate performer - vibrant and personable, his
musical arrangements reflect his expertise and energy. Traditional songs are given new life and contemporary songs acquire the timeless sensations of the mystical pan pipes, flute, and natural effects in the music performed by Wayra.

I took the photo and placed an impressionistic sunrise background behind the subject. Then, I used Corel Painter IX to work the entire image. The result is a very warm and melancholy picture of Wayra.

This 11″x14″ framed and matted print is available for $245.00 plus $10 shipping fee. Contact me if you are interested in it.
