History



Legend has it that in ancient Greece the deity Pan (a satyr, that is half goat and half humanoid, with horns, pointed ears and goatee) played this flute to enchant and enchant travelers, and that is why today it is called Pan's flute.



In Latin American countries, the Pan or zampoña flute is used mainly in the Andean highlands, and in countries such as Bolivia, Ecuador, Peru and Colombia. Its development began around the fifth century of the Christian era, the Huari or Wari culture, which is located in Peru and today can be grouped into three main groups: the siku or sikuri (in Aymara language means "tube that gives sound"), the antara or Bodhisattva and rondador.
