The Zampoñistas are Australia’s premier Bolivian Pan Pipe Marching Band. (Not much competition, you say!). Their act is unique. They are not your usual panpipe band that you might see busking in the City Mall. The haunting tones of the Andean panpipes and a heartbeat of percussion create a swirling, syncopated, high energy chorus of sound, the sounds of the Inca realm.
