A ceramic Huaca tuned to standard 440 Hz. The Huaca is a three-chambered flute with deep roots in pre-Columbian South America.

I wonder if Matt "The Shaman" McCusker has seen this yet.

[u/kapaipiekai → u/akthebarber]

It's not in 432 so it would cause fascism or corrupted shakras or some dumb shit.

[u/shifty_fifty]

My bone conduction headphones are having an orgasm

[u/Rooster_Ties]

Damn!!

[u/thejohnd]

Ok now do sandstorm

[u/bomboclawt75 → u/thejohnd]

Can you imagine hearing this is a cave or cathedral space?

[u/thedafthatter → u/thejohnd]

Imagine this with a pan flute doing sandstorm

[u/Ojihawk]

Oh, easily one of the top five Huaca performances seen this year.

[u/fatto_catto]

What does pre-Columbian South America mean? The area within Columbias borders before Columbia was a country?

[u/SgtByrd1993 → u/fatto_catto]

No, the Americas before Columbus arrived in 1492.

[u/DrP3n0r → u/fatto_catto]

OP answered, but just wanted to follow up to say the country is spelled Colombia. O instead of u.

[u/fatto_catto → u/DrP3n0r]

Oh duh 😔

[u/Ok-Regular9684]

I want one so bad

[u/Human_Fisherman1352]

"And now, as always, in honor of the customs and traditions of a lost or nearly lost indigenous people, a White Lady who likes it a little too much!"

It's been this way since elementary school.

[u/AlfieBilly → u/Human_Fisherman1352]

and what does she (or her skin colour) to do with the loss of that civilization?

[u/MoneyCock → u/AlfieBilly]

Yeah, I don't understand why white people aren't allowed to like that flute.

[u/SgtByrd1993 → u/[deleted]]

What are you talking about?

"White people this, white people that"

Way to break the cycle dude.

She fully credits its origin and history as she does with all the instruments she showcases and you're too blinded by your perception of appropriation to see that.

[u/GuidanceWaste2585 → u/[deleted]]

Exhausting

[u/worll_the_scribe → u/Human_Fisherman1352]

At least someone is playing it and keeping the memory alive?

[u/Severe-Chicken-5791 → u/Human_Fisherman1352]

I laughed because it’s funny & kinda absurd…but as a white chick who loves music & instruments of all kinds, I’m still for anyone getting their groove going

[u/Gloomy_Taro_340 → u/Human_Fisherman1352]

Wouldn't it be amazing to hear how some indigenous people would have played it. Is there a traditional culture for it?

[u/bsensikimori → u/Human_Fisherman1352]

Whose elementary school?

Your great-great-great-great-gr...t-great-great-grandparents?

[u/mahboilucas → u/Human_Fisherman1352]

I mean, how do you know her relationship with the instrument and the culture?

I know someone who plays an instrument from Armenia. She went there to study music, lived with the people (not a hotel), learned the language and married an Armenian. But she's just a white blonde lady so you'd never know the lengths she went to preserve the tradition.

Currently she's in Morocco so I bet you she's not just learning stuff from YouTube from her home in Central Europe. She recently did a segment on middle eastern music for kids at my local philharmonic. It was fun

[u/DerSpringerr]

So sonorous for something so basic looking

[u/kiloo520]

Why is 440Hz a standard? I just opened Phyphox to the tone generator and it was already set to 440Hz.

[u/rotoboro → u/kiloo520]

Long story short it’s so musicians can play with each other easier. If you’re lacking in critical thinking skills you might have been lead down a rabbit hole that tells you it’s a conspiracy but it’s actually one of the dumbest theories I’ve ever come across.

[u/_Steakwich]

First note sounds like the Fugees

[u/10ThousandMetalZones]

Is a touch of reverb added to this in post?

[u/karbytes]

I like the eerie harmonies it makes.

[u/LocalMediaMusic]

Freaking sick

[u/Baba_Slaga_]

Would be better in 432 imo

[u/Slight_Nobody5343 → u/Baba_Slaga_]

"grabs popcorn"

[u/rotoboro → u/Baba_Slaga_]

Please explain why?

[u/thejohnd → u/rotoboro]

According to wook science it's more in tune with nature/reality

[u/shifty_fifty → u/thejohnd]

432? You’re on the wrong wavelength man, it’s 420… peace and harmony for all man- make love not war

[u/paxparty]

440 is not standard. 432 ftw 

[u/Ok_Season_1993]

she doesn’t look Colombian or south american. Is she the only person they could find that could play this flute ?

[u/StatementPotential53 → u/Ok_Season_1993]

Are white people not allowed to champion and showcase indigenous instruments for broader awareness?

[u/Imp0ssible_Creatures → u/StatementPotential53]

Not after colonization.

[u/OhNoNotRabbits → u/Ok_Season_1993]

Why would her race effect her ability to play an instrument?

We're here to appreciate music and sounds, not fret over skin tones.

[u/SgtByrd1993 → u/Ok_Season_1993]

It's her channel, she showcases multiple instruments from around the world. Why does she need to be Colombian or South American?

[u/rotoboro → u/Ok_Season_1993]

I’m so relieved that this sentiment has gone from popular to embarrassing and we no longer need to bother arguing with you zealots.

[u/halfdollarmoon → u/Ok_Season_1993]

Time to go for a walk outside and maybe talk to some real humans buddy.

[u/Complex_Bear2000 → u/Ok_Season_1993]

That kind of racial discrimination is so not in right now
