The Wavelength
Monday November 30th, 2020 with Joe Reilly
Paracas Ritual - Tonight we feature an astonishing recording created by Manongo Mujica (a Peruvian composer, percussionist and visual artist) and Terje Evensen (a Norwegian percussionist and electronic artist.) We talk to both artists and play the album.

Tonight the Wavelength is dedicated to a fascinating recording called Paracas Ritual. The recording was made by Peruvian percussionist, composer and visual artist Manongo Mujica and Norwegian percussionist and electronic music artist Terje Evensen. The artists attempt to capture the essence of the Paracas region in Peru with incredible arrangements that include field recordings of the sounds and the silence of the desert/coastal region, music they recorded in the desert and work they did in the studio. Terje and Manongo join us on a ZOOM call from just outside Oslo in Norway and from Lima in Peru. It is a fantastic conversation about creating heartfelt and moving art that attempts to capture the essence of nature.
