FEATURED GUEST MUSICIANS

 

Peruvian Elder and sound healer Tata PEPE MENDOZA LOLI

Pepe Mendoza Loli is a musical alchemist who shares healing musical sounds with groups and individuals. Rooted in traditional modalities that he has been engaged with for decades, Pepe’s deep gratitude for the beauty and wonder of life is expressed in his work and play, which currently takes the form of musical offerings. 

BACKGROUND

Born and raised in the forest village of Pucalpa, Peru, Pepe first started to play music during his youthful travels around Peru and neighbouring countries of Ecuador, Columbia and Bolivia.

He continued playing various pre-columbian flutes, first in Europe, and then around the world accompanying Japanese musician Kitaro san and his group giving Pepe a more expansive vision for the sonoric and musical potential of this art. 

Pepe then spent some 20 years playing music in a variety of contexts for and with traditional communities in Mexico and first nations communities in the USA and across Canada. He then spent a few years in Europe visiting many countries, continuing to develop his own musical texture using a variety of hand-made instruments including some that he made himself. 

Pepe returned to Canada and deepened his musical process doing sound healing with his unique form of MUNAY (heartfelt ) musical offerings. He continues to lovingly share his music with people and the natural surroundings.
