The Amuki Foundation is a non-profit institution promoting the
interpretation of world flutes through a full connection to the present
moment. According to this vision, each instrument is a link between what we
call inside and outside. The audible message and its moments of silence,
pervaded by the contact with reality, become messengers of peace and
brotherhood. Based on this premise the Foundation decides to organise the
First World Flutes Festival in Mendoza, Argentina.
This Festival, of international reach, will invite great representatives
from different regions of the world. Each Master will bring a wealth of
valuable information through concerts, master classes, workshops, debates
and expositions. *see
