Viva Quetzal is Sue Burkhart, Roberto Clavijo, Juan Carlos Carpio, Jon Weeks and Jeff Nissenbaum.
Viva Quetzal's musicians are called upon to play over thirty familiar and exotic instruments, in order to create the unique musical textures and tonalities of the lands and cultures of the Americas. These instruments are the product of native aboriginal musical craft traditions, as well as from African, European and North American sources.
"...A sampling of all the diverse musical traditions that exist in the Americas and beyond... melodious rhythms with an exuberant, non-stop level of energy... Viva Quetzal's brand of music is more than eclectic or rhythmic, it's spiritual, it's all cultures existing as one. That's universal music!" -- Rafael Charres, Cashbox Magazine (NYC)
