In this episode, Renzo Aroni (@renzoaronis) speaks with Araceli Poma and Matt Geraghty. They are the Afro-Andean Funk based in New York City and have just released their second album, Flower on Fire. For their first album, The Sacred Leaf, they were nominated for the 2022 Latin Grammy. The duo is unique in their commitment to rescuing, valuing, and promoting Indigenous-rooted songs, traditions, and cultures from the Andean, Amazonian, and Afro-Peruvian communities and bringing into global merging music.
We discuss three powerful, symbolic, and multilingual songs: “La Luchadora del Ande” from the first album, and “Somos Latinoamérica” and “Kukama” from the second album. In the show, you will listen to these songs. These songs are personal and societal for the duo. There is a theme of social and environmental justice and Indigenous song revival, like in the Kukama language, which is highly endangered because all the estimated 1500 remaining speakers are older adults dispersed in small communities in the Peruvian Amazon.
You can buy Flower on Fire here.

En este episodio, Renzo Aroni (renzo.aroni) conversa con Araceli Poma y Matt Geraghty. Ellos son el dúo Afro-Andean Funk con sede en la ciudad de Nueva York y acaban de lanzar su segundo álbum, Flower on Fire. Por su primer álbum, The Sacred Leaf, fueron nominados al Latin Grammy 2022. El dúo es único en su compromiso por rescatar, valorar y promover canciones, tradiciones y culturas de comunidades indígenas, andinas, amazónicas y afroperuanas para hacerla visible como parte de una música global.
Analizamos tres canciones que son las más representativas, vigorosas y multilingües: “La Luchadora del Ande” del primer disco, y “Somos Latinoamérica” y “Kukama” del segundo álbum. En el show, escucharán estas canciones, que son muy personales y sociales para el dúo. Hay un tema de justicia social y ambiental y la reivindicación de la música indígena, como en la lengua kukama, que está en grave peligro porque los cerca de 1500 hablantes son adultos mayores dispersos en pequeñas comunidades en la Amazonía peruana.
Puedes comprar Flower on Fire. Y si estás en o cerca de Manhattan el 9 de julio a las 4:30 p. m., anda a su concierto gratuito al aire libre en el Lincoln Center
