about

Six Degrees Records is proud to announce the debut album from Punku, a new project created by Sylvia Falcón and Grimaldo del Solar (Novalima) that mixes Andean traditional music with ancestral instruments and modern genres including electronic music and rock.

Sylvia Falcón is an innovative singer whose music has travelled from the traditional songs of the Peruvian Andes, through the mestizo folk melodies and the Andean coloratura repertoire that made Yma Sumac (whose life centennial will be celebrated in 2022) well known around the globe. Grimaldo del Solar is a Lima born producer and musician known for exploring traditional Peruvian music through an electronic music lens with his group Novalima, a collective that fuses traditional Afro Peruvian music with DJ culture.

The name Punku means “door,” “access” or “portal.” For the Incas, the Punkus were doors or portals to communicate with their “gods” and their ancestors. The duo elaborates, “It was not only a physical door, but also a way to communicate with other dimensions and perceptions. For us, the music that we create in Punku is a door to connect with nature and our ancestors' knowledge of nature."
