Washé | Bridging Indigenous Sounds with Modern Technology

In an ever-changing musical landscape, Venezuelan musician and researcher Washé stands out by intertwining the ancient with the modern. Dedicated to preserving and reinterpreting the ancestral music traditions of Venezuela's indigenous communities, he creates immersive soundscapes that honor his cultural heritage while embracing contemporary techniques.

We joined Washé on an expedition into the Amazon basin to learn more about his work and approach, assisted by the BeatStep Pro and MiniFuse 2.

Indigenous peoples must retain intellectual property rights for their traditional instruments, and for their songs.

Many unethical musicians have taken advantage over the years.

I hope this is an example where things have been done ethically...

Hopefully, he repeats this journey regularly to pay the indigenous peoples their royalties due.

Nice to see Arturia's components are equally as effective in field use as they are in studio.
