All about recording folk music videos in South America with the Howling Earth Group. To date we have recorded about 150 music videos from more than 60 folk groups throughout Colombia, Ecuador, Venezuela, the Amazon, Peru and one pueblo in Bolivia. We are now editing the videos and re-vamping the website to accomodate that last series of videos shot over a 6 month period covering Venezuela, a small part of the Amazon, Peru and the town of Copacabana in Bolivia. We are actively seeking filmmakers with more music videos or short documentaries about the music, culture or history of South America. Please contact us if you are interested in contributing to the project!
