There's nothing cooler on a hot summer night than the music of Andes Manta. The vibrant, powerful, prehistoric music of South American is presented in all its romance and mystery by the Lopez brothers - Fernando, Luis, Bolivar and Jorge - who are natives of the Ecuadorian Andes with more than 35 amazing instruments and centuries of tradition at their fingertips.
LISTEN AND LEARN! Enjoy a free pan-pipe workshop in the Mansion from 5:00-5:45PM. Ages 5 through adult are welcome to come learn the art of playing the pan pipe from Andes Manta musicians. Reservations required, please call (301) 581-5144.
