EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the intricate details of a traditional "Caja Chayera" an Andean instrument, in a small village near Humahuaca during the Carnival celebration in Jujuy, Argentina. The image showcases the craftsmanship and artistry of local copleros (traditional musicians) who skillfully play this drum-like tambour. The Caja Chayera holds great significance in Andean music and is deeply rooted in the cultural traditions of the region. Its rhythmic beats resonate through the vibrant streets as it accompanies coplas (folk songs) sung by talented artists. This photograph pays homage to these native musicians and their contribution to preserving their rich musical heritage. As part of the festive atmosphere that envelops this South American village, locals come together to celebrate with joyous feasts, colorful costumes, and lively music. The Carnival celebration serves as a platform for showcasing their unique culture and traditions to both residents and visitors alike. Through this image, we are transported into a world where tradition meets modernity; where ancient melodies blend harmoniously with contemporary celebrations. It is a testament to the resilience of Argentine Northwest's cultural identity and its ability to thrive amidst changing times. NTI's photography encapsulates not only breathtaking landscapes but also intimate glimpses into diverse cultures around Latin America. With each click of his camera shutter, he invites us on a visual journey that celebrates our shared humanity while honoring our distinct roots.
