- MARÚ… The New Voice of Andean Music
MARU was formed by multi-instrumentalist, composer, arranger and vocalist Ruth Huamani, creating a sound that is now known as the New Voice of Andean Music.
In 2005 Ruth Huamani conceived the original concept for a female duo backed by a five-piece rhythm section of drums, keyboards, bass, sikus (pan pipes and flutes) and a charango (10-string indigenous Andean instrument). Huamani began working with producer Ricardo Silva on this unique project mixing traditional Andean sounds with popular modern rhythms and was responsible for composing the majority of the project. In 2005, MARU’s debut album Angel Guardian was released, becoming an international hit under the executive production of USA-based Goin’ Native Records.
